Steelcase Wege Wind Farm Real Time Data

In 2008, Steelcase expanded its award-winning sustainability efforts by making a first-of-its-kind, long-term commitment to a single U.S. wind farm. It was named 'The Wege Wind Energy Farm' in honor of Peter Wege, a Michigan environmentalist and Steelcase founding member. This landmark commitment included the purchase of all the renewable energy credits (RECs) produced by the farm for at least the first five years of its operation. This unique commitment became the largest purchase of renewable energy credits in the office furniture industry and won Steelcase a 2009 Green Power Leadership Award from the EPA. It also inspired a whitepaper outlining the innovative partnership called Expanding Green Power: A New Business Model.

Now, you can watch the progress of The Wege Wind Farm with a real-time online tracking tool that shows current wind conditions and electricity output, as well as how much clean renewable energy has been generated by the farm to date by month, year or lifetime.
