A brief description of RECs or other similar renewable energy products purchased during the previous year:

OIT purchases RECs through Pacific Power's Blue Sky Renewable Energy Program. For fiscal year 2010, OIT purchased 43,700 kwh per month, or 524,400 kwh for the fiscal year. According to Pacific Power, this is equal to 318 tons of avoided CO2 emissions, or not driving 644,294 miles, or planting 27,384.17 trees. The environmental benefits are based on the average non-base load generation emissions from the Western Energy Coordinating Council (WECC) region and on data and calculations provided by the US Environmental Protection Agency.
