DC is No Longer the Greenest Municipality

Washington DC has lost its bragging rights as the largest municipality to purchase power from green sources. With Philadelphia Phillies’ recent announcement to buy 100 percent of team’s power from green sources, Philadelphia has become the greenest city.

“A municipality can join the program by meeting minimum purchase requirements for green power -- ranging from 3 percent to 20 percent depending on power usage. It then agrees to start a campaign to encourage businesses and residents to buy green power.”
