USA, Nevada:


Nevada’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (NCET) has given it's Green Company of the Year award to the Peppermill Resort Spa Casino, home of the 2012 GRC Annual Meeting & GEA Expo.

The Peppermill Resort Spa Casino has adopted sweeping green initiatives to dramatically reduce the Resort’s carbon footprint, and the entire Resort is now on-line to heat both space and domestic water with geothermal energy.

In the video, Peppermill Director of Facilities, Dean Parker accepted the award and gave a great shout-out to geothermal. "In my opinion Geothermal is one of the greatest renewable energies known to mankind." Engineering Director, Jimmy Oaks said the hotel has saved over $3.5 Million a year in energy costs.


The GRC Annual Meeting is from September 30 - October 3, 2012 at the Peppermill Resort Spa, Reno, Nevada, USA. Tours of the hotel geothermal facilities will be included in a packed schedule.
