Intel uses more than 2 billion killowatt-hours of green power annually according to a report from the EPA.
Intel Corp. (INTC) once again is No. 1 on the Environmental Protection Agency’s “green power” list, which ranks organizations based on their use of electricity from renewable resources such as solar, wind and low-impact hydropower.
About 88 percent of Intel’s electricity comes from green power. The company has ranked No. 1 on EPA’s list since 2008.

“For the first time, each of the Top 50 partners is using more than 100 million kilowatt-hours of green power annually,” said EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson. “Their actions help to reduce harmful carbon pollution that threatens the health of our planet and the air we breathe, and mark another step toward a new era of clean, innovative American energy.”
