During the previous year we have purchased 747,000 kWh of RECs through the TVA (our supplier) Green Power Switch program. This is done on a monthly basis (not a long-term contract). We have made these purchases continuously since 2006. TVA generates green power mainly with wind, solar, and methane recovery.
