| December 07, 2006 | | ENR blog features San Diego Gas and Electric setting new standard for environmental stewardship | I've mentioned this forward-thinking power plant on previous blog posts, but I had to let you know that San Diego Gas and Electric was also featured on ENR’s blog today. Don Fornes of RiverGuide, Inc. wrote an elegant description of how SDG&E’s Palomar Facility uses Enviance in its push to generate green power. Don was very impressed that the 550 megawatt power plant produces 45% more electricity than older facilities, while maintaining the lowest emissions in Southern California. Some additional environmental kudos for the Palomar Energy Facility include: - Operating on 100% recycled water for production, landscaping and fire fighting;
- Employing noise pollution reduction techniques and materials;
- Recycling 1.2 million cubic yards of overburden (dirt/rock); and even,
- Relocating endangered California Gnatcatcher habitat to an additional parcel.
And if you want to hear more details on the case story, tune into the live web seminar next Thursday, Dec 14 at 11 AM Pacific. We've got nearly 200 people signed up, so join us! Thanks, Don, for the post! by
