BELLEVUE, Wash. (Feb. 5, 2007)—Puget Sound Energy (PSE), which serves more than 1 million electric customers in Washington state today announced that the company's sales of green power are steadily increasing. Effective Jan. 1, 2007, PSE's green power electricity purchases by customers and communities increased by almost 30 percent thanks to recently signed agreements with cities and other government entities from Bellingham to Olympia.

"The city of Bellingham, city of Olympia, LOTT (Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater and Thurston County) Alliance, and Whatcom County have all signed agreements with Puget Sound Energy to purchase green power to support the development of clean, renewable energy in the Pacific Northwest," said Cal Shirley, PSE's vice president of Energy Efficiency Services. "Collectively, they will be purchasing more than 53 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of green power this year — equivalent to the electricity used by about 4,400 households."

All four government entities will qualify for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partnership Program's Leadership Club. Bellingham is the largest local government buying 100 percent green power in the United States and the first local government on the EPA's Top 10 Local Government Partners list to go 100 percent green.
