Beginning Jan 1, 2010, the electricity purchased for all buildings on the Saint Peter's College Jersey City campus will come from wind energy for a minimum of one year. Saint Peter's will be the second private college in the state of New Jersey to purchase green energy as its sole source of electricity.
The renewable energy that Saint Peter's has acquired is Green-e certified.
‘By choosing renewable energy, Saint Peter's campus community is helping to protect the environment, conserve natural resources and build a more sustainable future,’ says Robert E. Anderson, vice president of retail commodity services for ConEdison Solutions.
In addition to working with ConEdison Solutions on its renewable supply, Saint Peter's also worked with R3 Energy of Tarrytown, N.Y., an advisor on renewable energy solutions to various institutions.
