A brief description of the RECs and/or similar renewable energy products:
Since 2010, 15% or more of Gonzaga's total annual electrical energy consumption is offset through Avista's Buck-A-Block program. Avista purchases Green-e certified REC's to supply the Buck-a-Block program. The REC's or Green Tags, have all renewable attributes intact including CO2 benefits. The Buck-a-Block program is primarily wind, but there are other green-e certified resources used by the source of the program. For example, in 2008, Buck-a-Block was sourced by 77% wind, 15% landfill gas, 7% biomass, and 1% Geo Thermal.
