AVNW Aviat Networks Inc

Silicon Valley Power (SVP), the municipal electric utility for the City of Santa Clara, announced today that Aviat Networks, Inc. will participate in its clean renewable energy program, Santa Clara Green Power. Aviat Networks will purchase one-half of the output of one large-scale wind turbine on an annual basis. Aviat Networks entered a two-year green power purchase commitment as part of its initiative to achieve LEED Gold Certification for its new Santa Clara facility.

Derived from clean wind and solar generation sources, Aviat Networks' renewable power commitment -- 1504 megawatt-hours annually -- makes Aviat Networks a member of the U.S. EPA's Green Power Partnership for its Santa Clara facility. "We are very pleased by the standout commitment Aviat Networks has made to renewable energy through our green power program and their new status as an EPA Green Power Partner," said Larry Owens of Silicon Valley Power. Aviat Networks' clean power commitment will provide environmental savings by preventing the release of more than 800 tons of carbon dioxide, a key greenhouse gas. This is the climate impact equivalent to taking over 150 cars off the road for a year.

"Conventional electricity generation is the nation's single largest industrial source of air pollution," said EPA Green Power Partnership Director, Blaine Collison. "Aviat Networks and other Santa Clara organizations buying green power are providing a great example of environmental leadership."

"The commitment to renewable power is an extension of a broad set of initiatives we've implemented worldwide to conserve energy and minimize our impact on the environment," said Sandy Johnson, Facilities Manager at Aviat Networks.
