H-E-B has become the first major retailer to sign up for the renewable energy option 'Windtricity'.
The supermarket chain plans to use the environmentally-friendly energy source to help power 46 of its stores throughout San Antonio and Bexar County. Existing stores will run off of 10% wind power. New stores will use 35% wind power.
The move will save enough energy to power 2,200 homes for an entire year and reduce C02 emissions by 287 MM pounds.
Windtricity is a renewable energy option provided by CPS Energy and can be purchased by commercial and residential customers.
