Moving from surf power to green power, three Lucky Brand Dungarees stores will buy their electricity from a Tustin power company that gets energy from renewable sources.
The clothing manufacturer and retailer has signed on with Commonwealth Energy Corp., which provides energy from geothermal sources.
“We’re excited about being able to play a small part in creating a cleaner sustainable energy future,” Lucky Brand partner Gene Montesano said in a statement.
Commonwealth delivers electricity to more than 50,000 users in the state, and the demand for renewable energy sources is increasing, the company said. As a result, Commonwealth is helping to build a new geothermal facility near the Salton Sea that should be finished next spring.
