NRG Energy Inc. (NYSE:NRG) is pleased to announce the renewed
collaboration between its brand Direct Energy and the Western
Pennsylvania Energy Consortium (WPEC), led by the City of
Pittsburgh and its partner organizations.
Beginning in 2016, Direct Energy has worked with WPEC and the
City of Pittsburgh—in collaboration with Enel North America—to help
move the city toward a more sustainable future. Through the new
agreement, Direct Energy will help the City of Pittsburgh and its
WPEC partners purchase Renewable Energy Credits derived from the
Scioto Ridge farm, a wind facility owned and operated by RWE and
located in Ohio, which will help reduce emissions associated with
the consortium’s annual power usage.
NRG will assist the City and WPEC partners in achieving their
renewable energy goals by purchasing competitively priced renewable
energy and seamlessly embedding it into its current electricity
supply, eliminating the need for onsite installation or significant
upfront investments.
“The city’s continued collaboration with NRG Energy assists us
in having cleaner energy without the high cost for our facilities
which helps our communities. It further provides us with the
opportunity to protect our environment by reducing our carbon
footprint,” said City of Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey.
The agreement signifies a monumental step toward the 100 percent
renewable energy by 2030 goal laid out in the City’s Climate Action
Plan.
WPEC is a buying consortium providing an ideal alliance in the
City’s renewable efforts for a more sustainable future. The
consortium boasts more than 20 local members including the City of
Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Zoo, Sports and Exhibition Authority,
Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority, Parking Authority, Stadium
Authority, and numerous surrounding boroughs.
“Our extended collaboration with the City of Pittsburgh shows
the options and resources available to help communities achieve
their sustainability goals,” said Scott Hart, Senior Vice President
of NRG Business. “NRG is committed to supporting our communities
and we are excited to continue to work alongside WPEC and the City
of Pittsburgh as they progress toward a sustainable future and make
a positive impact on the community.”
