Intel, Pepsi and Whole Foods Top EPA List of Green Power Purchasers

In the most recent release of Top Partner Rankings by the Environmental Protection Agency, Intel Corporation, PepsiCo and Whole Foods Market were named the top three green power purchasers. 

These three companies and the rest of the Top 50 are recognized as the best at helping reduce the environmental impacts of electricity use and supporting the development of new renewable generation capacity nationwide. Purchase amounts reflect U.S. operations only and are sourced from U.S.-based green power resources. Organizations can meet EPA purchase requirements using any combination of three different product options (1) Renewable Energy Certificates, (2) On-site generation, and (3) Utility green power products.

Combined, the top 50 largest purchases amount to nearly 12.3 billion kilowatt-hours annually, which represents more than 70 percent of the green power commitments made by all EPA Green Power Partners.

The Houston, Texas was the top city the list at 6, followed by Dallas, Texas and Chicago, Illinois at number 12 and 16 respectively.
