| Green Mountain Energy Company`s BeGreen Division Helps Clinton Presidential Center Achieve LEED Platinum Certification Through Renewable Energy Purchase | |
| Expertise of Renewable Energy and Carbon Offset Provider Supports Businesses Going Green
Jan. 29, 2008, Austin, Texas – While the William J. Clinton Presidential Center has earned a reputation as the gold standard in environmentally friendly design, the Little Rock, Ark., structure has added a new designation – the Platinum rating for its LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) certification, thanks in part to its agreement with Green Mountain Energy Company`s BeGreen division. Green Mountain Energy Company, the nation`s leading provider of cleaner energy and carbon offset products, worked with the Clinton Presidential Center to offset 100% of its electricity consumption with renewable energy credits (RECs).
With the help of Green Mountain Energy`s strategic approach, the Clinton Presidential Center`s purchase of renewable energy from Green Mountain will offset 100 percent of its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from electricity usage through the end of 2008. Green Mountain has provided similar services to many organizations nationwide, helping these companies achieve LEED certification more than two dozen times since 2006. |
