Harvard, First Wind sign power pact

By The Mainebiz News Staff

Harvard University has entered into an agreement to eventually buy 10% of its electricity from Stetson Wind II, a wind farm in Danforth that is expected to go online next year.

The 15-year agreement to buy power and renewable energy certificates from the facility, owned and operated by First Wind, a Massachusetts-based energy company, fulfills the university's pledge to expand its use of renewable energy and reduce waste, according to the Harvard Gazette. The agreement will make Harvard the largest purchaser of wind power by a university or college in New England, according to the campus paper. Last year, Harvard's Cambridge and Allston campuses used more than 247,000,000 kWh of electricity.
