The latest U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Green Power Partnership list of the top 25 largest purchasers of green power in the United States includes the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the University of Pennsylvania.

The EPA quarterly publishes its list of the Top 25 Partners in the Green Power Partnership whose annual green power purchases are the largest nationwide. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania placed 18th on the list - the only state represented - while the University of Pennsylvania came in at 25.

In addition to the Top 25 list, EPA publishes several other lists, including Local Governments, Green Communities and Colleges and Universities. Montgomery County made the Top 10 Local Governments list, and Swarthmore, Delaware County, was honored as the No. 9 Green Community purchaser. The University of Pennsylvania was the number 2 College and University purchaser, and Penn State University was third.

Lists of top green power purchasers are available online.
