HONOLULU � The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has recognized Macy�s Inc. as one of its top 20 partners for generating the most green electricity on site.
The EPA said Monday in a Washington news release that the company�s Hawaii and California stores are generating more than 10 million kilowatt-hours of solar power annually.
The agency says Macy�s use of green power is equivalent to 3 percent of the electricity use of its stores located in California and Hawaii.
Macy�s ranks No. 14 on the EPA�s Top 20 On-site Green Power Users List.
Combined, the top 20 partners are generating and consuming more than 736 million kilowatt hours of on-site green power annually. That�s equivalent to the electricity needed to power more than 61,000 American homes a year.
