GPC Partnership Documents
You will need Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA’s PDF page to learn more.
The GPC Partnership Agreement (PDF) (3 pp, 284K) is a simple, two-page document that local governments must download, print, complete, sign, and fax to EPA on behalf of the community they represent in order to join the Partnership. You will need to provide community information, including a local government primary contact and communications contact, as well as basic information about your community’s green power purchase. GPCs have up to six months to complete a purchase that meets or exceeds EPA purchase requirements after submitting the Partnership Agreement.
The Green Power Community Yearly Report (MS Excel) (96K) is a form that Green Power Communities can use to update their community-wide green power usage information. Communities will receive a Green Power Community Yearly Report from their assigned account manager on the anniversary of their Partnership or the anniversary date of their last purchase data update, whichever is most recent. The report will include the community-wide green power use information on record—Communities need only confirm or update the information. Please note, in response to the automated message that appears upon opening the Yearly Report, you will need to enable macros (the macro contained in the file is safe and has been third-party verified).
