WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 2017 /CNW/ -- Pattern Energy Group
Inc. (Nasdaq & TSX: PEGI) ("Pattern Energy") today announced it
is joining with other American wind energy companies as a keystone
partner of Habitat Hammers Back, the Hurricane Harvey repair
and rebuilding initiative led by Habitat for Humanity. The
companies are donating $1 million in
aggregate to support repairs and rebuilding efforts in areas
impacted by the storms.
"With an office in Houston and
over 100 employees in the Houston
area, we have a close connection to the damage and pain that was
caused by Hurricane Harvey – and we are committed to helping the
area recover," said Mike Garland,
CEO of Pattern Energy.
"Habitat for Humanity is committed to helping families recover
from Hurricane Harvey, and we wouldn't be able to do it without the
support of our partners like Pattern Energy and the other companies
from the American wind energy industry," said Habitat for Humanity
International CEO Jonathan Reckford.
"Their gift is an investment in the long-term recovery of these
communities."
Through Habitat Hammers Back, Habitat is already at work
responding to Hurricane Harvey, helping families to clean up and
prepare for the rebuilding effort to come. Habitat will work with
its local offices throughout the hurricane-affected regions to
assess the shelter and housing needs and develop response options.
In addition to long-term housing repair and construction, Habitat's
response includes organizing volunteers and resources to help with
the cleanup of homes damaged by wind and flood waters.
