Sundance Square Honored For Green Power
July 29,2013
Sundance Square, the downtown Fort Worth entertainment and office district, has been ranked No. 14 on the Environmental Protection Agency’s top 20 retail list of the largest green power purchasers.
It is the first time Sundance Square made the list. Sundance Square annually purchases more than 30 million kilowatt-hours of green power, or enough to meet 46 percent of the company’s electricity use.
Sundance Square buys a green power product from Green Mountain Energy.
“This is a huge honor, and we are proud to be recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,” said Johnny Campbell, Sundance Square president and CEO. “Purchasing green power is an outgrowth of our commitment to sustainability, and supporting clean sources of electricity has been a sound business decision.”
In addition, Sundance Square appears as No. 44 on the EPA’s long-term contracts list.
Green power is electricity generated from environmentally preferable renewable resources, such as wind, solar, geothermal, biogas, biomass and low-impact hydro.
According to the EPA, Sundance Square’s green power purchase is equivalent to avoiding the carbon dioxide emissions of more than 4,000 passenger vehicles per year or the carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity use of more than 3,000 average American homes annually.
