Southwestern University Goes Green with Wind Power

Last week, Southwestern University signed an agreement with the City of Georgetown and AEP Energy Partners to receive 100 percent of the university's electricity for the next 18 years from West Texas wind farms. For the university, this is a major step towards their goal of becoming completely carbon-neutral. Southwestern is the first university in Texas and one of only five universities across the country to receive all of its electricity from renewable sources. The university hopes that this investment will pay off within the three to five years as standard electricity rates are expected to increase.
