Renewable Energy & Energy Management
Educational and research opportunities for wind, solar and other types of
renewable energy sources are meant to
help lead the community to a better understanding and use of the energy we require.
Energy management programs and services equip
Springfield customers with the tools and information they need to make smart energy decisions that save
energy and money.
The Noble Hill Landfill Renewable Energy Center began delivering electricity to CU customers in May 2006. Methane gas produced by the City of Springfield's landfill is harnessed at the generator, providing 3.2 megawatts of electricity to CU customers. The joint project uses a previously discarded byproduct to produce energy for the community. |
