We're a leader in the smart grid movement. In fact, we're already working to create a sustainable energy future with our current smart grid demonstration efforts.
In our leadership role, we are committed to providing environmental and economic benefits by creating a resilient, open and dynamic energy and information network. This network will also provide a new way for customers, utilities, and suppliers to actively participate in energy use and supply decisions.
We're committed to using natural resources responsibly, reducing waste and helping our customers do the same.
Promoting green building and operations
We're actively greening our own buildings and facilities by implementing energy conservation, water conservation, waste reduction, recycling, and green cleaning services programs.
Our award-winning Sustainable Communities Program advances and promotes the use of clean energy generation technologies within our region. These 30 plus projects contribute a combined total of over 4 megawatts (MW) of locally generated, renewable power to the community.
The Energy Innovation Center is a working showcase that demonstrates smart energy initiatives and green building practices, all housed in one unique setting. This 27,000 square foot LEED Platinum center offers visitors a venue for learning and exploring the latest in energy efficiency, renewable energy, smart grid and alternative fuel technologies.
For five consecutive years, we have been recognized as a Tree Line USA Utility. This program recognizes public and private utilities throughout the nation that demonstrate practices that protect and enhance America’s urban forests.
Environmental stewardship is an essential part of our culture and our day-to-day business. Here’s just a glimpse of some of our environmental activities, facts, and achievements.
