Regina, SK—Today, Bullfrog Power®, Canada’s leading green energy provider, and DoubleTree by HiltonTM Hotel and Conference Centre Regina, are announcing that DoubleTree by Hilton Regina is the first hotel in Saskatchewan to choose green electricity with Bullfrog Power. Through the partnership, Bullfrog Power ensures the energy going onto the grid for DoubleTree by Hilton Regina’s SilverBirch Conference Centre® meeting and conferences rooms and three Hilton HHonors floors is coming from clean, green sources.

“Choosing Bullfrog Power’s green electricity is important to us because we believe in doing our part to reduce our impact on the environment,” said Mike Wurster, General Manager, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Conference Centre Regina. “Thanks to our partnership with Bullfrog, we are now able to offer our guests a more environmentally sustainable stay as part of our commitment to create a truly rewarding hotel experience.”

Bullfrog Power’s generators put 100 per cent clean, pollution-free electricity onto the grid to match the amount of conventional power that DoubleTree by Hilton Regina’s SilverBirch Conference Centre meeting rooms, conference rooms and three Hilton HHonors floors use. Across Canada, Bullfrog Power’s green electricity comes from a blend of wind and low-impact hydro power sourced from new Canadian renewable energy facilities.

“As the first hotel in Saskatchewan to choose Bullfrog Power’s green electricity, DoubleTree by Hilton Regina is taking a leadership role in the province’s hospitality sector,” said Anthony Santilli, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Bullfrog Power. “DoubleTree by Hilton Regina is reducing its environmental impact, supporting the development of new renewable energy projects and helping to create a cleaner, healthier world.”

Bullfrog Power, through its work as a social enterprise, supports community renewable projects in Saskatchewan and across Canada. In Saskatchewan, Bullfrog Power’s community partners include First Nations Power Authority and Saskatoon’s Broadway Theatre.
