Becoming a Green Power Partner is easy!
Organizations can partner with EPA at either a facility or at an organization-wide (U.S. operations only) level. The following is a summary of the basic steps necessary to become a Partner:
- Assess the amount of your annual electricity use (kilowatt-hours) for your facility or a logical aggregation of facilities, up to an organization-wide (U.S. operations only) level.
- Determine the percentage purchase requirement your organization must meet to qualify as a Green Power Partner. Contact EPA with questions.
- Download, print, complete, and fax EPA your Partnership Agreement (PDF) (2 pp, 194K, About PDF). Upon receipt of your Partnership Agreement, your organization has six months to meet or exceed EPA’s green power requirements.
- Work with EPA on identifying products that meet your organization’s objectives and goals. Make a purchase and submit your purchase data to EPA.
- Communicate the benefits of your actions. EPA offers support and guidance to help you effectively communicate to stakeholders and other interested parties the importance of your green power purchase and status as a Green Power Partner.
For additional information on EPA’s purchase requirements, eligible resources, eligible products, and other requirements, please consult the Partnership Requirements (PDF) (19 pp, 520K, About PDF) document.
Upon receipt of your organization’s Partnership Agreement, you will receive a welcome kit by e-mail from your assigned account manager. It can take up to 7-10 days for your purchase information to be processed and confirmed. New Partners are typically listed on EPA’s Web site within a month of submitting their Partnership Agreement. EPA is available to assist you in communicating the environmental benefits of your green power purchase.
