SBNP Renewable Energy Challenge Kick Off—Making the Switch to Renewable Power
Speakers: Geoff Bastian, Partnership Associate with 3 Degrees will represent the options for Pacific Power customers, Josh Halley, Commercial Market Manager with Green Mountain Energy will present the options available for PGE customers and info about a third option, Bonneville Environmental Foundation will also be available.
The Northwest is blessed with abundant renewable resource potential. We have enough potential solar, wind and geothermal resources to satisfy at least 40 percent of our electricity needs.
Investing in renewables keeps Northwest dollars that would otherwise leave the region to pay for fossil fuels, recirculating here. In addition, purchasing green power tells utilities and power providers that there is a market for renewable energy, which encourages them to increase investments in green power instead of sources like nuclear, coal, and big hydroelectric projects which pollute the air, damage wildlife habitat, and reduce our quality of life in the Northwest. Businesses also need to show a strong market demand to help encourage development of those resources. Renewable energy projects are good for the economy, and bring dollars to our local tax bases. So your green power purchase helps on many levels.
Your Business Can Make a Real Difference!
The average electricity usage for a typical SBNP business in Portland is about 1600 kilowatt-hours per month. Using that number as a baseline average, if 100 of our members signed up for 100% green power at a cost of about $13 more per month, it would have the same annual environmental benefits as:
**Not driving the average car 2,880,000 miles
**Planting 530 acres of trees or
**Avoiding 2,688,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.
