Jul, 2009 : FatCow Partners With Community Energy Inc.
📅 - The companies join hands to engage in 'Green Wind Energy', thereby reducing the carbon footprint.
FatCow Web Hosting, a web services provider, today announced that it is powering its offices and data centers with 100 percent wind energy. It adds that the Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are being supplied by wind energy marketer and developer - Community Energy Inc. (CEI).
The company says that it is buying 4,412,000 kilowatt hours (kWhs) per year of wind-generated RECs. This volume is comparable to the entire output of one 1.5 megawatt (MW) wind turbine over the course of one year, adds the company.
The company avers that when compared to the average generation mix in the national electric grid, the estimated environmental benefit from this purchase is equal to offsetting approximately 2,260 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, the impact of which is equivalent to planting about 2,390 acres of trees each year or not driving 6.1 million miles.
Paul Bukhovko, Marketing Manager at FatCow explained, ''We're offsetting all of our electricity use by purchasing wind-generated Renewable Energy Certificates, providing our customers with an environmentally preferable web hosting solution.''
By reducing its carbon footprint, FatCow is responding to feedback from its staff, as well as letting customers host green sites of their own. Mr. Bukhovko added, "Quite frankly, our employees and our customers were the driving factors behind our decision to go green. Our staff members encourage responsible environmental behavior inside the office and practice it outside the office. And, we know that many of our customers feel just as strongly. We wanted to give them an opportunity to reduce their own carbon footprint by hosting their sites on servers 100 percent powered by wind energy."
Brent Alderfer, Executive VP of Community Energy noted, ''Electricity generation is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, and Community Energy applauds FatCow for taking action on climate change. Their commitment to 100 percent wind-generated RECs makes a difference for cleaner air, a stronger economy and new clean energy sources in the U.S.''
