JACKSON CENTER, Ohio - Airstream, Inc. recently announced the company’s green energy commitment via two facilities owned by Airstream. The Jackson Center corporate office and manufacturing center is now 100-percent powered by renewable energy credits. Included in the announcement is the news that Airstream’s new 750,000 sq. ft. facility opening in the next 12 months will also be powered completely by renewable energy credits.
Airstream President and CEO Bob Wheeler says in a press release, “Our work at Airstream is inextricably linked to the outdoors, so we are continuously exploring ways to do more with less. Powering our operations through renewable energy credits purchased here in Ohio is a net win for our community and our customers.” Airstream is participating in Jackson Center Municipal Power’s EcoSmart Choice program. The program allows participants to purchase renewable energy certificates from wind, hydroelectric, or landfill gas projects offered through American Municipal Power, Inc. By using renewable energy certificates to power Airstream’s facilities in 2018, the company was able to offset 4,220 metric tons of CO2.
