By choosing green power, PNC Bank is helping advance the voluntary market for green power and development of those sources; and is using more than 81 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually, which is enough green power to meet 25% of the organization’s electricity use. According to the U.S. EPA, PNC’s green power use is equivalent to the electricity use of nearly 8,000 average American homes annually.
“EPA applauds PNC Bank for its leadership position in the green power marketplace,” said James Critchfield, program manager of EPA’s Green Power Partnership. “PNC is an excellent example for other organizations in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through green power investment and use.”
PNC Bank committed to RE100 in 2019 to source 100% renewable purchased electricity by 2025 and will reach this goal through a multi-faceted approach inclusive of power purchase agreements, renewable energy credits and on-site generation.
