Green Power Community Challenge Rankings - as of May 26, 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.
