Summary

Beginning in October of 2015, the City began purchasing enough renewable energy credits from wind power to cover 100% of the electricity used by City facilities. The City of Dallas uses over 720 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually, and utilizing wind power prevents over 550,000 tons of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the air.

The City has implemented numerous programs that improve the energy efficiency of municipal operations and buildings throughout its community.
