WASHINGTON, DC — At a Department of Energy (DOE) ceremony marking Earth Day, Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham announced the largest ever purchase of electricity generated from renewable energy for DOE headquarters facilities in Washington, DC and Germantown, MD.
This green power purchase will allow the DOE headquarters to become a partner in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Green Power Partnership, a voluntary program that encourages public and private organizations to purchase renewable power. The ceremony included Dr. Edward Mayberry, president and ceo of Pepco Energy Services; General Services Administrator Stephen Perry; and DOE Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy David Garman.
