Norwood Medical Adds Wind Power

Norwood Medical LLC (Dayton) announced a five-year renewable energy contract. 

The agreement brings renewable wind energy from ENGIE to Norwood Medical's headquarters campus in Dayton.

Under the terms of a five-year agreement, Norwood Medical will initially match 50% of its electricity consumption at ­­­­­four locations, increasing its commitment to 100% for 11 buildings over the term, including approximately 120,000 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from ENGIE's Priddy Wind Project in Texas.

Norwood Medical will procure Green-e® Certified RECs that will ultimately deliver the equivalent environmental benefits of avoiding the GHG emissions from 52 million pounds of coal burned or 47,223 metric tons of CO2. Green-e® RECs are certified by the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions to verify exclusive use of renewable electricity within an electricity market.

The agreement supports a Norwood Medical objective to reduce carbon emissions.

 "We have a goal of 50% reduction of scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 versus baseline year of 2021, and net zero by 2050," said Jeremiah Allen, Vice President, Engineering, in a statement. "Reducing our impact on the environment is vitally important. Leveraging renewable electricity will help us hit our goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% from 2021 levels."
