Big Agnes announced it had committed to using 100-percent renewable energy to power three U.S. facilities.
At its company headquarters, the brand has partnered with the City of Steamboat Springs to purchase renewable energy from its local utility provider, Yampa Valley Electric Association, through its Green Choice Program.
The brand currently leases its 6500-square-foot headquarters from the City of Steamboat Springs. Through the partnership, Big Agnes and the city will jointly purchase 100 percent renewable energy from Yampa Valley Electric Association (YVEA) through its Green Choice Program. YVEA currently provides 32 percent renewable energy, but the Green Choice Program provides customers a way to offset the remaining 68 percent by purchasing renewable energy certificates.
Big Agnes has offset 100 percent of the energy used at its Steamboat Springs warranty and repair center since it first opened as a fulfillment center in 2006. The City of Steamboat Springs currently has two other buildings operating under the Green Choice Power Program.
The company’s U.S. distribution center located in South Salt Lake City, UT recently transitioned to renewable energy and committing to Rocky Mountain Power’s Green-e Energy Certified Blue Sky program.
