Green Mountain Energy Celebrates 15 Years
Austin, TX August 15, 2012 -- Today Green Mountain Energy Company celebrates 15 years as a green power pioneer, providing clean energy solutions for residential and business customers across the U.S. Since Green Mountain's inception, its customers have helped avoid more than 19.4 billion pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by choosing renewable energy. That's like taking over 1.7 million cars off the road for a year. In addition, demand from Green Mountain's customers has helped develop over 50 new wind and solar facilities across the U.S.
"Today we're celebrating a milestone, not only for our company, but also the renewable energy industry at large," said James Steffes, president and CEO, Green Mountain Energy Company. "At 15 years strong, Green Mountain continues to deliver on its mission to change the way power is made. We're only able to do this thanks to our customers' commitment and the hard work and passion of our employees."
To celebrate its birthday, Green Mountain is giving the gift of solar energy to a lucky homeowner through its "Bring Sunshine Home" Sweepstakes. The soon to be announced winner will receive a $15,000 solar array home installation. In addition to making a positive environmental impact, this solar panel installation will also help reduce energy bills for the homeowner.
"Given the rapid adoption of and continued appetite for renewable energy and the positive environmental impact it delivers, we're looking towards a bright future," continued Steffes.
