The Green Power Challenge is an exciting program that challenges organizations within the Pearson Eco-Business Zone to achieve a collective goal of sourcing 100,000 MWh of electricity from renewable sources.

Background

The Green Power Challenge was introduced in April 2010, encouraging organizations within the Pearson Eco-Business Zone to achieve a collective goal of greening 58,000 MWh of electricity by bullfrogpowering their facilities with 100 per cent clean, renewable power. 

In April 2011—just one year after the program was launched—organizations achieved the goal and currently, more than 40 companies are active in the Challenge. Due to the growing success of the program, Bullfrog Power and Partners in Project Green are issuing a new Green Power Challenge goal: to collectively green 100,000 MWh of electricity. 

Why choose green electricity?

Conventional electricity generation is a leading source of carbon dioxide—the primary greenhouse gas linked to climate change—as well as other emissions that contribute to poor air quality.

Progressive businesses are examining the impact of their products and services across the life cycle, in order to meet their environmental sustainability goals and those of their business partners. This includes the energy sources used by their:

• office and retail locations
• production and packaging
• supply chain

Many organizations are choosing to work with Bullfrog Power as an easy way to green their power and help take action on climate change and air pollution.
