What is the Green Power Partnership?

An EPA initiative, The Green Power Partnership encourages organizations, schools, communities and businesses to buy green power to lessen the environmental impact of standard electrical use which usually emits greenhouse gases. When your company or organization becomes a Green Power Partner you purchase renewable energy for part or all of your energy needs. Renewable energy resources include: solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, biomass and low-impact hydro generate green power. Green power resources are categorized as producing electricity with zero human-caused emissions, has a superior environmental profile compared to conventional power generation, and was built after the beginning of the voluntary market (Jan. 1, 1997).

An example of a recent Green Power Partner is the Fitgerald Auto Malls in Maryland - the first auto dealership in the US to purchase wind power for 100% of their energy needs.
