Website:
http://www.solarcity.com/company
Company Summary:
SolarCity has continued to serve customer in 19 states and Washington D.C. with solar
power solutions since 2006. Today it is one of the largest providers of solar energy and donates
solar power systems and batteries to schools that do not have access to electricity. Unlike other
most other forms of renewable energy, solar power can be collected on site rather than having
to travel through a power grid to its destination where electricity is lost. The overall goal of the
company is to make renewable energy more affordable and available to both home owners and
small businesses while reducing CO2 admissions from current power sources such as natural
gas, coal, and oil.
Application:
Install solar panels of roof of Rosslyn Heights to provide renewable on-site energy.

Website:
http://www.wges.com/dyn/wind_power_map.html
Summary:
The CleanSteps WindPower from Washington Gas Energy Services (WGL Energy) provide
renewable energy from wind farms in Pennsylvania that are sent into the national power grid
and are able to provide power to commercial buildings in Washington D.C.. Wind products are
certified by Green-e Energy, an independent certification program for renewable energy
products in the United States. No specialty equipment is needed to provide power to buildings
as the energy is provided to the site’s current utility company. WGL Energy received the Green
Power Leadership Award for 2014 by the Environmental Protection Agency. Some partners in
Washington D.C. that use their wind power include the University of D.C., the Embassy of
Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Embassy of Egypt, the Embassy of France, the Embassy of Jordan,
and Union Station.
Application:
Use wind energy from WGL Electric to provide renewable power for Rosslyn Heights.

Website:
http://www.covanta.com/sustainability/energy-from-waste.aspx
Summary:
Covanta Energy is the provider of energy from waste power to Arlington and Alexandria
County. Because of the growing waste problem in Northern Virginia, Covanta provides a
sustainable solution that reduces waste in landfills, produces power, and minimizes greenhouse
gases by incinerating non-recyclable waste collected from nearby communities who in turn
receive electricity. Covanta Energy sells the power it produces to Dominion Power which serves
Northern Virginia including being the main provider supplier to Arlington, Virginia.
