ARLINGTON, VA.—Pepco Energy Services, a subsidiary of Pepco Holdings Inc. and a supplier of renewable electricity, announced that it has been awarded a contract to supply wind power to the historic Willard InterContinental Hotel in Washington, D.C.

The six-month contract calls for Pepco Energy Services to supply the 332-room Willard InterContinental with nearly 2 million kilowatt hours of electricity generated from renewable resources per year. Facilitated by The Loyalton Group, an energy risk management firm in Washington, D.C., the contract stipulates that 10 percent of the energy will come from wind farms.

“We at the Willard InterContinental Hotel are glad to expand our conservation efforts through our purchase of wind energy from Pepco Energy Services,” says Herve Houdre, general manager. “This is an important piece of our sustainability effort entitled ’Willard InterContinental—The Next 100 Years.”

“Pepco Energy Services is delighted to be supplying environmentally-friendly wind energy to such a landmark,” says John Huffman, president and COO of Pepco Energy Services.

Pepco Energy Services currently supplies 100 percent renewable resources to the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island and the Ellis Island Immigration Museum on Ellis Island, as well as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency headquarters, located in Washington, D.C.
