Inquiry

The University of Denver College of Law is looking to contract with the local utility, Xcel Energy, to purchase "green" power from its Windsource Program. The program provides electricity from 43 wind turbines located at the Ponnequin Wind Facility in northern Colorado. The University\'s contract to purchase wind power would meet the intent of EA Credit 6.0 - to encourage the development and use of grid-source energy technologies on a net zero pollution basis - and would meet the requirements of a two year contract while also contributing to the further growth and availability of a renewable energy source in Colorado and for surrounding states. Without Xcel being a member of the Green-e Program, will this credit be met?
