MGP commits to renewable energy; 100% of electricity to come from wind
MGP, a leading U.S. supplier of specialty wheat proteins and starches, has embarked on a major renewable energy initiative, committing to sourcing 100% of its electricity needs from renewable wind power.
Through a three-year agreement that took effect April 1, the company has made a commitment to renewable energy through Westar Wind, a Green-e certified program offered by Westar Energy. As a result, total electric usage at MGP’s facilities in Atchison, Kan., and Lawrenceburg, Ind., will be offset by green energy provided by Westar’s wind resources in Kansas.
