The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Green Power Partnership has released an updated ranking of the country's top Green Power Communities (GPC). A GPC is one which meets or exceeds the program's green power purchase requirements. The communities are ranked based on both the volume of green power usage and green power as a percentage of total power usage. In this new ranking, Washington D.C. maintains its number one spot as user of the most green power with more than 1 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) consumed. The community with the largest percentage of green power used is Oak Park, IL at 91.9%. The rankings welcome several new members this year including Cincinnati, OH; Creve Coeur, MO; and Arlington Heights, IL.
