Eagle County's purchase of wind energy credits from Holy Cross Energy offsets 100 percent of the electricity used in primary county facilities and made us eligible to be an EPA Green Power Partner. Green Building Specialist Adam Palmer presented the award at the commissioners' February 24 meeting.

            

This purchase of clean renewable energy for Eagle County prevents 3126 tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere, is the equivalent of planting 125,000 trees or mitigates the emissions from 592 vehicles per year.
