The National Hockey League (NHL) is partnering with Sterling Planet to reduce the environmental impact of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Sterling Planet is providing the NHL with 12.85 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of Green-e Energy certified renewable energy certificates (RECs) from U.S. wind projects. The purchase will help counterbalance the emissions generated from electricity used at playoff games and team travel to those games. Part of the purchase is being used to match 100 percent of the annual electricity use of the NHL's New York City headquarters. This is the second year the NHL and Sterling Planet have partnered in this project. Through this initiative, the NHL will remain a member of the EPA's Green Power Partnership Club.
