Lowe's is improving our environmental performance and creating a healthier world through the purchase of green power — electricity generated from renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Joining leading organizations within the United States and across individual industries, we are a supporting member of the Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partnership, a voluntary program.
In 2010, we purchased 111 million kilowatt-hours of green power. Lowe's ranks sixth among America's top retail green power purchasers and 15th in the FORTUNE 500® in green power purchasing.
Why do we do it? We're helping to offset the emissions from conventional electricity use and helping to spur the development of green power, with a goal of making it more affordable and accessible for others.
