WGES would supply wind energy from wind farm plants. BID-based businesses wanting to purchase electricity generated by wind turbines.
A private non-profit organisation in the US that provides improvements, resources and research to help diversify the economy of the nation’s capital city announced on Monday that its headquarters building is switching to wind energy.
The DowntownDC Business Improvement District (BID), located on a prominent street in Washington near the White House, said it decided to switch to wind power to reduce costs and dependency on carbon-based fuels that harm the environment.
In a press release, DowntownDC BID said switching to wind power would save the organisation money and prompt interest among other BID-based businesses wanting to purchase electricity generated by wind turbines and other green resources.
The organisation's headquarters building in the District of Columbia is staffed by nearly 100 people. The contract with Washington Gas Energy Services (WGES) to provide 100% CleanSteps(SM) WindPower to the headquarters building is expected to save $3,000 (€2,152) over two years.
The press release said WGES would supply green power from wind farm plants to the headquarters building beginning in April.
