CORVALLIS, Ore. \u2013 Oregon State University has been named the Pacific-10 Conference champion in the EPA Green Power Partnership\u2019s 2010-11 College and University Green Power Challenge.<\/p>\n

OSU purchased more renewable energy than any other school in the Pac-10 (now the Pac-12), with 51,595,400 kilowatt hours of green power purchased and used. OSU has been the Pac-10 champion every year since the 2007-08 school year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re glad to see the competition heating up as more and more colleges and universities join the Green Power Challenge,\u201d said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. \u201cThis year\u2019s schools used more than 1.5 billion kilowatt hours of green power, cutting harmful emissions from our air, protecting health and driving demand in the clean energy market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two other Oregon schools made the EPA\u2019s list, including Southern Oregon University, which used 33,300,047 kWh, and Lewis and Clark College, which used 12,375,821 kWh.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s challenge participation increased to 69 competing institutions, representing 31 different conferences nationwide. The challenge\u2019s total annual green power usage of more than 1.5 billion kWh has the equivalent environmental impact of avoiding the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the annual electricity use of more than 132,000 homes.<\/p>\n

OSU was also just named in the Princeton Review\u2019s annual Green Guide to Colleges.<\/p>\n
