Intel is the Biggest Buyer of Green Power in America

Intel announced today that it would purchase more than 1.3 billion kilowatt hours a year of renewable energy. This announcement will make Intel the single largest buyer of green power in the United States according to the EPA.

The purchase of the renewable energy put Intel at the top of the EPA’s latest Green Power Partners top 25 list and garnered the top spot on the EPA’s Fortune 500 Green Power Partners list.

"We have a long history of commitment to the environment and energy efficiency is an important consideration in everything we do, from building transistors to designing microprocessors and running our factories," said Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini, who is also a member of the Copenhagen Climate Council, a global group of leaders working to achieve an effective global climate treaty at next year's UN Environmental Summit in Copenhagen. "Our renewable purchase is just one part of a multi-faceted approach to protect the environment, and one that we hope spurs additional development and demand for renewable energy."
