How is windpower distributed to Mohawk Fine Papers?
Mohawk purchases windpower RECs from renewable energy market leaders. The power from projects they represent is sold to the grid, displacing an equivalent amount of power that would otherwise be produced with fossil fuel. A REC is an authorized document that represents a defined amount of electricity (usually one megawatt–hour) at a renewable energy facility. The RECs that Mohawk purchases are independently certified through the Center for Resource Solutions’ Green–e program.
