Green Power Community Challenge Rankings (as of December 1, 2010)
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.
