AustinEnergy, Still the Greenest


What's the greenest energy provider around?
Residential and business customers combined, PGE [Portland General Electric] comes in second by the kilowatt measure, just behind Texas' Austin Energy. Pacific Power's PacifiCorp, with its multistate reach, ranks third.

Renewable energy gets big buzz for PGE Best in U.S. - Two federal agencies honor PGE's successful efforts to sell green power to its customers, GAIL KINSEY HILL, Oregonian, Tuesday, December 05, 2006

Seems like electric utilities for other cities are fast catching up, though. The story notes that PGE comes first by residential customers alone.

Loved the article in this week's Chronicle about Austin Energy's plan to convert three hybrids to plug-ins. Yeah, woo-hoo, just three. Nevertheless, I felt a little like I was reading a World Changing article. Pretty cool! Made me understand why there's a World Changing Austin website.
