How is GRU addressing the problem of global warming?
Global warming is a well documented issue raising legitimate concerns about the effects of energy consumption in the creation of greenhouse gases (GHG). The simplest and best way to reduce GHG is by using energy as efficiently as possible. GRU has implemented a number of conservation programs to help our customers reduce energy use. In addition, we are already using and plan to increase our use of renewable resources such as landfill gas, solar and biomass from waste wood. We are continuously improving the efficiency of electric generation and all supporting operations, and promoting the efficient use of electricity in the community. There is much debate about GHG and how much they affect the world’s climate, but there is agreement that carbon dioxide (CO2) is released in greater quantities than any other GHG, and the majority of it comes from motorized vehicles. GRU has implemented and is recommending additional projects to reduce carbon intensity, that is, the amount of carbon emitte
