Electricity, like money, is fungible. So DC’s electricity is a composite of NG, Coal, Nuke, and others. No it is possible to pay the electricity provider extra money to generate from a particular source.

The current standard requires these utility providers to generate 50 percent of their supply from renewable
sources by 2032, a carve-out of which must be from solar energy equal to 5 percent of the energy
supply. Energy suppliers meet these requirements through the purchase of Renewable Energy
Credits (REC) from renewable energy producers.


Key words: Renewable Energy Credits.

Like CA, they'll probably have their energy “shipped in” from out of state or from surrounding counties. That way, they can still claim to be renewable but run their air-conditioners and stick the surrounding counties and states with their polluting power production.
