NRG Energy and City of Pittsburgh extend wind power collaboration

NRG Energy announced the renewed collaboration between its brand Direct Energy and the Western Pennsylvania Energy Consortium – WPEC -, led by the City of Pittsburgh and its partner organizations. Beginning in 2016, Direct Energy has worked with WPEC and the City of Pittsburgh to help move the city toward a more sustainable future. Through the new agreement, Direct Energy will help the City of Pittsburgh and its WPEC partners purchase Renewable Energy Credits derived from the Scioto Ridge farm, a wind facility owned and operated by RWE and located in Ohio, which will help reduce emissions associated with the consortium’s annual power usage.
