QUEENS, N.Y.--Constellation Energy has announced that its subsidiary, Constellation NewEnergy, is helping to turn the court green at the 2008 US Open in Flushing, N.Y.
CNE will supply an estimated 2,000 Green-e certified wind Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to the United States Tennis Association (USTA)
to match the electricity consumption at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center for the duration of the US Open held Aug. 25-Sept. 7, 2008.
CNE has previously provided sources of renewable energy to sporting events and venues across the country. Last year CNE and The Kraft Group announced their collaboration to secure wind RECs to match the electricity usage at Gillette Stadium, home to the New England Patriots, before, during and after all pre-season, regular and post-season home games. The electricity usage at the 2007 Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship was also matched with RECs by CNE. This was the first-ever PGA TOUR or Champions Tour event to be powered fully by renewable energy. This year, CNE also supplied RECs to match the electricity usage at the 2008 NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship.
