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.
