HP Doubles Green Power Purchase PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 4, 2006HP today announced that it will double its purchase of green power for its U.S. operations as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Fortune 500 Green Power Challenge. The company is committing to purchase 25 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power. HP currently ranks No. 16 on the EPA’s Fortune 500 list of Green Power Partners. The goal of the EPA’s 13-month campaign – announced at the National Renewable Energy Marketing Conference in San Francisco today – is to approximately double the existing green power purchases among Fortune 500 Green Power Partners in order to exceed 5 billion kWh of green power purchasing annually. Green power purchases help accelerate the development of new renewable energy capacity nationwide. “EPA applauds HP’s leadership in green power purchasing and its support of EPA’s Fortune 500 Green Power Challenge,” said Bill Wehrum, acting assistant administrator, Air and Radiation, U.S. EPA. “We encourage all of America’s Fortune 500 companies to purchase green power and demonstrate that what’s good for the environment is also good for business.” The EPA, using data on national average avoided carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, estimates that HP’s purchase will avoid the CO2 emissions of more than 3,100 passenger cars each year or the electricity use from more than 1,800 U.S. households annually. As part of its commitment to global citizenship and the environment, HP offers a full range of energy-efficient products and enterprise solutions that help customers save money while reducing environmental impact. HP has more than 10 years of investment in energy efficiency-related programs and a dedicated HP Labs power and cooling research team with numerous patents. HP also drives energy efficiency throughout its operations. In 2004 and 2005, the company implemented more than 100 million kWh worth of energy-efficient projects.
