About the Awards
Electricity generated from renewable sources is becoming increasingly available nationwide. By
choosing green power instead of conventional electricity, consumers, businesses, and organizations
can increase renewable electric generation — helping to clean the air, protect the environment,
and build a sustainable future. When enough electricity customers choose green power, the result
will be long-term economic and environmental benefits.
To recognize the actions of individuals and organizations that are significantly advancing the devel-
opment of renewable electricity sources, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE), and the Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) are sponsoring the
2nd Annual Green Power Leadership Awards. The EPA and DOE awards recognize the nation's
leading green power purchasers. The CRS awards recognize innovative green power suppliers,
marketers, and others helping to build the market.
-------
Green Power Purchaser Awards
EPA and DOE are honoring U.S. organizations — businesses and public- and private-
sector institutions — whose leadership actions have helped build a market for green
power by making significant purchases or commitments to purchase renewable energy.
Award winners were selected based upon criteria including the quantity of renewable
energy purchased, the impact of their green power purchases and the extent to which
their actions have helped to establish a precedent that may have helped catalyze similar
actions by others, and the extent to which they demonstrated innovative purchasing
strategies that may be replicated by others.
Green Power Supplier and Marketer Awards
The Center for Resource Solutions, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing
renewable energy as a means to encourage sustainable economic growth and preserve
the environment, celebrates the efforts to build the green power marketplace with four
awards — the Green Power Beacon, the Rudd Mayer Green Power Pilot, the Green
Power Public Interest, and Green Power Pioneer Awards. The Green Power Beacon
Award honors innovative marketing materials and themes used by green power suppli-
ers; the Rudd Mayer Green Power Pilot Award recognizes cutting-edge outreach efforts
by an individual or organization to boost interest in green power within specific sectors;
the Green Power Public Interest Award acknowledges innovation in public policy
administration to support green power; and the Green Power Pioneer Award honors
the outstanding contributions by an individual in helping create the green power indus-
try.

Partner of the Year
kinko's
Kinko's, Inc.
In 1997, Kinko's, Inc. adopted its Environmental Vision
Statement, recognizing the role companies must play in
ensuring a sustainable and healthy future. The company's
efforts to reduce its environmental footprint include buy-
ing renewable energy, reducing energy use, offering recycled and alternative papers, and minimiz-
ing waste. A total of 93 branches across 13 states are now purchasing green power, 13 of which
are using 100 percent renewable energy. All together, this amounts to approximately 7.7 million
kilowatt hours of green energy. Kinko's, Inc. is procuring its power from a wide variety of sources,
including wind, geothermal, landfill gas, solar, and small hydro. Kinko's, Inc.'s active engagement
has made them a leader in advancing corporate markets for green power.
The City of Chicago
The City of Chicago became a leader in the procurement of renewable
energy when it decided to obtain one fifth of its power from "green"
sources, such as wind, solar, and landfill methane. Seeking alternatives
to coal and nuclear energy, Mayor Richard M. Daley announced that
the city would purchase 10 percent of its power from renewable
sources in 2002, growing to 20 percent within five years. With its chosen
energy provider, ComEd, one of the nation's largest utility companies,
and Illinois Wind Energy, Chicago announced plans for creating the first
commercial wind farm in Illinois. In addition to wind, the City plans to order 600,000-kilowatt
hours of solar energy per year.

AMDJ1
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD), recog-
nizing the potential environmental impacts of
global climate change and the need to take
precautionary action to protect our global
environment, set a goal to reduce carbon emissions from its manufacturing operations
by 15 percent by 2005. Shortly after its first purchase of renewable energy in 2000,
natural gas prices soared and became even more costly than the fixed green power
premium. By 2001, AMD saved approximately $100,000 from its green power procure-
ment and, in response, doubled the company's purchase for the following year. AMD is
currently purchasing over 24 million-kilowatt hours of clean renewable energy each
year - 90 percent of which comes from a Texas wind farm.
State of New Jersey - NJCESP
The State of New Jersey proved its dedication to renew-
able energy and a sustainable future with the largest State
government commitment to green power procurement in
the nation. New Jersey's commitment of 86 million kilowatt
hours a year, or 12 percent of the State government's energy
use, was realized with assistance from the New Jersey
Consolidated Energy Savings Program (NJCESP), a group
organized under the New Jersey Department of Treasury.
A total of 196 State-operated facilities are now purchasing
renewable energy from Green Mountain Energy Company.

On-Site Generation
Johnson & Johnson
Seeking to become a corporate leader in addressing
the challenge of climate change, Johnson &
Johnson has committed to reduce its carbon
dioxide emissions seven percent below 1990 levels by 2010. To achieve this goal, Johnson &
Johnson is actively investing in green power as an alternative to fossil fuel energy. Three buildings
are currently purchasing energy from a local wind farm, while three other buildings are producing
their own energy through a solar photovoltaic system. The investment in green power is not only
benefiting the environment, but is also a good business decision - providing a reliable and stable
supply of energy for the company. The size of the company's green power purchase, along with its
willingness to share its experiences, has made Johnson & Johnson a leader in green power
procurement.
County of Alameda, California
In spring 2002, the largest rooftop solar electric system in the nation was
completed in the County of Alameda. The solar installation, consisting
of 3 acres of solar photovoltaic panels, is located on top of 14 of the
18 housing units of Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, California - generating
1.4 million kilowatt hours annually. Santa Rita Jail is the largest
energy user of Alameda County's government buildings. Along with
major energy efficiency improvements, as well as the solar installa-
tion, the County was able to reduce the jail's use of utility-generated
electricity by 30 percent. The initial project was designed to generate 519
kilowatts of solar power. However, the continued availability of financial
incentives made the project profitable enough to double the production capacity to 1,180 kilowatts.
Due to the project's success, over 2.4 million-kilowatt hours of electricity annually are no longer
purchased from the grid in Alameda County.

Renewable Energy Certificates
The Pennsylvania State University
In 2000, a group of students and faculty pub-
lished The Indicators Report, which evaluated the
Pennsylvania State University's global environ-
mental and social impact. At the same time,
University staff also was seeking ways to make
the University more sustainable. Since purchasing
renewable energy was a key goal for both groups, the University announced that it
would become one of the largest purchasers of wind power in the country by committing
five percent of the main campus' electrical needs from wind energy over the next five
years from Community Energy, Inc. The University is currently purchasing 17.6 million
kilowatt hours of energy produced at a Pennsylvania wind farm. The total green power
purchase amounts to the annual output of four 1,500-kilowatt wind turbines.
Penn
Of 1'tNMHAAMA
University of Pennsylvania
Following the winter of 2001, University of
Pennsylvania's facilities department faced severe
operating deficits from a winter of rising fuel costs.
In response, the University instituted an aggressive
demand-side management plan to reduce its peak electrical demand by three percent.
By turning off unnecessary lights, elevators, and even entire buildings not in use and
regulating the air conditioning, they were able to reduce peak demand by 10,000 kilowatts
- an 18 percent reduction. These energy savings provided the resources necessary for
the University to invest in clean wind energy. Using those funds, the University now
purchases 20 million kilowatt hours of wind energy each year to further reduce its
contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.

Honorable Mentions
Green Power Direct Purchase - Uinta Brewing Company
Uinta Brewing Company is committed not only to brewing great beer,
but to environmental stewardship. In addition to its energy efficient
facility, its support of local community organizations, and its emphasis
on recycling, 100 percent of the brewery is now powered by wind
energy. Uinta is purchasing 100-kilowatt hour blocks from Utah
Power's Blue Sky green pricing program at a premium of $2.95 per
block. This amounts to an annual additional cost of over $8,000, or a
50 percent increase in their electricity bill. However, Uinta president
and founder Will Hamill strongly supports the decision to invest in
clean renewable energy, despite the increase in the utility bill. Using
the slogan "when it blows, it flows", Hamill feels that the environmental benefits strongly out-
weigh the costs and consumers will be drawn to a product that is brewed by 100 percent wind power.
