More and more colleges and universities are procuring green power to meet their electricity needs. Purchasing green power is a flexible and effective strategy for schools pursuing “greening the campus” initiatives or seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with their operations.
The ten schools listed below are the Green Power Partners with the largest completed green power purchases in the higher education sector. Their actions are helping drive the development of new renewable electricity generation.
The combined green power purchases of these Top 10 Partners equals 322,000 megawatt-hours annually.
This list is current as of March 20, 2006 and will be updated quarterly. The next update, scheduled for July 2006, will reflect information received from Partners by June 26, 2006.
Here’s a list of the top purchasers of green power, the number of megawatt-hours of green power used, the percentage of green power used to meet campus energy needs and a description of the resource used to generate the power:
