FireKeepers Casino Hotel is bolstering its commitment to sustainability, agreeing to source 100% of its electricity from renewable power sources and save more than 273,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide over the next 20 years through a new partnership with Consumers Energy.

FireKeepers announced Monday it will be the first casino in Michigan to join the Renewable Energy Program offered by Consumers. As part of the agreement, FireKeepers has committed to match its energy consumption — approximately 31,527 megawatt-hours per year — with clean renewable energy sources.

This substantial effort reduces Michigan greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking approximately 61,000 gasoline-powered vehicles off the road or recycling approximately 13,500 garbage trucks of waste instead of sending it to landfills.
