RENUKA RAYASAM
AMERICAN-STATESMAN - Whole Foods Market Inc. is going all
green on electricity. The company is buying enough wind power
credits to cover energy use at all of its U.S. stores, bakeries,
distribution centers, regional offices and its Austin headquarters.
The deal makes Whole Foods the biggest corporate user of wind power
in the country. Whole Foods will buy 458,000 megawatt-hours of the
wind energy credits from Boulder, Colo.-based Renewable Choice
Energy Inc. Neither company revealed the dollar value of the
two-year contract. "Right now, the main benefit is public relations,"
said Andrew Aulisi, senior associate at the nonprofit World
Resources Institute. "For a company like Whole Foods, which has a
particular kind of clientele, I can imagine this is an important way
they relate to their customers."
