       Information  and  Communication  Technology activities consumed
       4\%  of  the  world  energy  in 2009, and such consumption will
       continue  to increase due to the traffic growth of the Internet
       predicted  for  the  next years. Techniques to make the core of
       the  network  more  energy  efficient  has been proposed, among
       them,  green routing has been considered a promising technique.
       This  technical  report  proposes  a  novel Routing, Modulation
       Level  and  Spectrum  Assignment  (RMLSA) algorithm for elastic
       optical  networks  that  considers  the  energy  consumption of
       potential routes. Results indicate that this algorithm can save
       up  to  34\%  energy  and  produce bandwidth blocking ratio two
       orders  of  magnitude  lower  than  existing energy aware RMLSA
       algorithms.
