Herman Miller and Constellation, an Exelon company, have announced a four-year agreement to power the furnishings manufacturer's Spring Lake, Mich., manufacturing locations with 100 percent renewable energy. The energy will come from the Harvest II wind project in Elkton, Mich., which is managed by Exelon Generation.

The agreement is expected to supply Herman Miller with roughly 25,000 megawatt hours of wind energy annually, which is enough to power more than 2,700 homes for one year.

The agreement leverages the Constellation Offsite Renewables (CORe) retail offering -- designed to increase access to renewable energy for commercial and industrial customers – that will match the manufacturing location's annual electricity use with renewable energy certificates from the Harvest II wind project. Structured similarly to standard retail power agreements, CORe allows businesses to gain access to renewable energy without the significant hurdles that accompany offsite renewable Power Purchase Agreements.
