Something on the lines of if your company facility is using over X amount of energy the majority of that has to be from a green source such as solar power. What would happen and is this feasible or am I totally thinking about this wrong

Edit: Good responses from everyone, my point in asking this was completely hypothetical, ignoring how hard it would be to implement a restriction. My own thoughts are that requiring the use of renewable energy for high electricity products could help spur the demand for it as now it’s a requirement. Of course companies would fight back, they want money

    I would say this is a dangerous slope to go down, since electricity is just electricity and IMO shouldn’t matter how it’s used as long as it’s payed for. It’s like the Net Neutrality situation where it shouldn’t matter how/what data is being transmitted through their network shouldn’t be discriminated for/against as long as it’s getting payed for.
