Constellation Powers Chicago Cubs Game With Renewable Energy

Earth Day has just past and one electricity company in Chicago did its part to help the environment by using renewable energy to power a sporting event.  Constellation Energy recently announced plans to provide electricity generated with renewable sources to Wrigley Field for the game taking place the day after the Earth Day holiday. 

Constellation Energy provides electricity to a large number of Chicago energy consumers but is not the only electricity company available because Illinois is a deregulated utility state.

This is why it is so important to let Electric Rates help you compare other energy company rates to the rates of Constellation Energy if you want to find the best deal for your electricity services.

• The April 23^rd Chicago Cubs game is the first green game to ever be held at Wrigley Field.
• The renewable energy being used to power Wrigley Field is Green-e certified and is generated from multiple sources.
• The renewable sources used to power Wrigley Field included solar and wind in addition to others.
• The energy certificate purchased by Constellation to match the amount of electricity used for the game was enough to avoid approximately 56,000 pounds of emissions caused by carbon dioxide.

Many businesses these days are utilizing renewable energy but powering a baseball game with renewable energy is a new concept.  The event was a great way to celebrate Earth Day and Constellation likely earned a fair amount of respect for making such a large gesture.  Likely we will see more events such as the Cubs game powered with renewable energy in the future and renewable energy is greatly increasing in use.  Constellation Energy is only one of the electricity companies offering electricity to Chicago energy consumers but is a significantly commonly used company.
