EPA names Kohl's Department Stores Green Power Partner of the Year

Menomonee Falls, Wis. Kohl’s Department Stores on Monday was named Green Power Partner of the Year during the annual Green Power Leadership Awards.

This is the third consecutive year Kohl’s will receive a Green Power Leadership Award, earning recognition for green power purchase in 2007 and on-site generation in 2008. This is Kohl’s first time receiving the Green Power Partner of the Year Award, which recognizes four EPA Green Power Partners annually that distinguish themselves through their green power purchases, leadership, overall strategy and impact on the green power market.

Co-sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy and Center for Resource Solutions, the Green Power Leadership Awards recognize the actions of organizations, programs and individuals that advance the development of green power resources in three categories: on-site generation, green power purchase and Partner of the Year.
