Washington State officials are espousing the benefits of the Sound Transit Link light rail system operating via carbon-free electricity – becoming the first major light rail system to achieve the milestone.
The accomplishment stems from a Sound Transit Link agreement with Puget Sound Energy (PSE) to purchase wind energy directly from the utility’s Green Direct program, which is projected to save more than $390,000 in electricity costs over the 10-year contract while supporting the creation of local clean energy jobs.
