Intel continues to top the EPA's list of the largest users of renewable electricity, while Microsoft has moved into second place.
Intel uses clean energy to power 100 percent of its electrical load, or about 3.1 million MWh per year. Microsoft Corp. came in second place, increasing its use of clean energy to more than 1.9 million MWh per year, or 80 percent of its capacity.
Apple, making the Top 50 list for the first time, ranks 10th with 537 million kWh per year, or 85 percent of the country's electricity, now coming from clean energy.
Retailers Kohl's Department Stores, Whole Foods Market and Saudi Arabia Mobile Number List Walmart rank third, fourth and fifth. Kohl's and Whole Foods buy more green electricity than they use. Retailers purchase 105 percent and 107 percent of their energy use from clean sources, respectively.
Walmart buys 751 million kWh of green energy per year, but due to the scale of the organization, this accounts for only 4 percent of its electricity consumption. The retail giant announced earlier this month that it aims to increase its use of renewable energy by 600 percent by 2020 compared to 2010 levels. This would be equivalent to using 7 billion kWh by 2020. Walmart is also looking to reduce its required kWh energy intensity per square foot. energize Walmart buildings worldwide by 20 percent by 2020 compared to 2010 levels.
For the first time, the Environmental Protection Agency has published a list of partners that have committed to purchasing clean energy for five years or more. The agency says these organizations send a strong signal to renewable energy developers by saying they are committed to green energy for the long term and helping reduce future greenhouse gas emissions. Partners with the most long-term contracts include the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, Ohio State University, Iowa State University and the University of Maryland. Of the 47 partners on the list, 15 are higher education institutions.
