Green Power Community Challenge Rankings (as of March 17, 2011)
Over the span of a year, EPA GPCs will track and report their collective green power use and green
power percentage of total electricity use. GPCs will be ranked according to the two award categories on
EPA's website on a quarterly schedule. At the conclusion of the Challenge, the community that has the
highest green power percentage and the community that uses the most kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green
power will receive national recognition and special attention from EPA. View the rankings below.
