Moab Area Community honored by EPA as Nation's First Green Power Community

The EPA released a press release today honoring the Moab Area Community as a Green Power Community. By obtaining 4% of their electricity from wind power the community became the first community in the Nation to obtain the award.

According to the EPA "By having 4 percent of the Moab Area Community's electricity offset by green power, EPA estimates the environmental benefit is equivalent to avoiding the generation of 4 million pounds of carbon dioxide or planting roughly 750 acres of trees." (Full Press Release)
