Renewable Energy
The development of appropriate renewable energy resources is critical in our efforts to combat global warming and as part of an overall strategy for national energy independence. Not subject to the price volatility of petroleum products and natural gas, renewables are becoming more cost-competitive every year.
- Grand Targhee offsets 100% of its annual electricity
consumption through the purchase of wind-generated
Renewable Energy Credits. This energy offset
is the equivalent of taking 420 cars off the road for
1-year or planting 665 acres of trees.
- Targhee installed a 660 watt Photovoltaic (PV)
System on the side of our Ski & Snowboard
School Building. The electric production from this
installation is being continuously
monitored to gather data on Targhee’s solar
resources. The information obtained
through this pilot project will provide
planners with information necessary to
make informed decisions regarding future
PV installations at the resort.
