Avon Lake Municipal Utilities chief utilities executive Todd A. Danielson said that its customers have offered to pay more for renewable energy in order to enhance the utilities sustainability efforts.
“However, by working with FirstEnergy Solutions, we were able to take advantage of the current energy market to save the greenhouse gas equivalent of 600 cars on the road per year and save 5 percent on energy costs – that’s a big win.”
FirstEnergy Solutions senior vice president of Retail Sales and Marketing Julie Hextell said “FirstEnergy Solutions is committed to providing our communities with access to products that allow them to achieve their renewable goals.”
During the fifth year of agreement, FirstEnergy Solutions will retire with renewable energy credits (RECs) equivalent to 25% of Avon Lake Municipal Utilities’ generation use.
