What is the source of the electricity for the renewable energy program?

The power comes from a renewable source. In this case, the “renewable sources” are: “ … energy derived from sunlight, wind, falling water, biomass, sustainable or otherwise … energy from waste, municipal solid waste, wave motion, tides, and geothermal power …Renewable energy shall also include the proportion of the thermal or electric energy from a facility that results from the co-firing of biomass.”

SVEC gets their renewable energy for this program from its power supplier, Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC) through ODEC’s 3 main sources:

• Criterion Power Partners, LLC – 70 MW
• AES Armenia Mountain Wind, LLC – 50.5 MW
• Stony Creek Wind Farm, LLC  – 32.5 MW
