Wind mill farms and Photo-voltaic cell arrays

==============================...

Thanks to the demand of Green Mountain Energy Company’s customers, the following 13 wind and solar facilities have been built and are generating over 180,000 KW of new renewable energy. These facilities are owned and operated by third parties and branded as Green Mountain through licensing agreements because the demand from our customers played a significant role in getting these projects built. Since the first facility came online in 1999, these facilities have been responsible for avoiding over 261,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.
