Sprint And Kansas City Power And Light Deliver
Overland Park KS (SPX) Aug 13, 2008 An innovative partnership between two Midwestern-based entities - Sprint and Kansas City Power and Light (KCP and L) - is setting an example of how businesses can join forces and leverage their commitments to a clean environment through renewable energy. This unique alliance involves KCP and L's Spearville, Kan., Wind Energy Facility, which provides the majority of power to Sprint's 200-acre Overland Park, Kan, campus, along with other Kansas communities. "We're extremely pleased to see this partnership highlighted," said Ralph Reid, vice president of Corporate Social Responsibility for Sprint. "With eco-friendly initiatives that range from wireless recycling to renewable energy in our networks, Sprint has a longstanding commitment to the environment. This partnership with KCP and L showcases yet another way that Sprint has made that commitment come alive." The CNBC World story also features other ways that KCP and L is working with Sprint and other businesses to focus on renewable energy and energy efficiency, including online energy-analyzer tools, as well as rebates for energy audits.
