Rocky Mountain Power / Pacific Power purchases the exclusive right to claim all of the environmental benefits from the generation of electricity produced by renewable energy power plants in the exact amount of Blue Sky purchases. The environmental benefits figures in this brochure are based on the average non-base load generation emissions from the Western Energy Coordinating Council (WECC) region, as updated September 2008, and on data and calculations provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (www.epa.gov/cleanenergy/energy-resources/egrid/index.html and www.epa.gov/cleanenergy/energy-resources/calculator.html). Some of the funds from your Blue Sky block purchase may support the construction of new renewable resources in the region, such as solar panels on community facilities that add more renewable energy to the system and help Blue Sky customers make an even bigger difference.
