Renewable energy supplier becomes first to win two EPA and DOE awards
3 Phases Energy news release
October 31, 2005


San Francisco, CA – October 31, 2005 – Using innovation to drive market demand for renewable energy, 3 Phases Energy proved its leadership in the renewable energy industry at the 10th National Green Power Marketing Conference in Austin, TX held October 24-26. The Industry recognized 3 Phases Energy with two awards from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy: Renewable Energy Technology Supplier of the Year for general excellence supplying renewable energy, and Green Power Beacon, for the company's ability to originate business sector interest in renewable energy. In the history of the awards, no single renewable energy supplier has been recognized with two awards in the same year.

"The award recognition given to 3 Phases Energy is a testament to their leadership in the green power market," said Kurt Johnson, Director of the U.S. EPA Green Power Partnership. "Through suppliers like 3 Phases Energy, corporations and institutions can use clean, renewable energy and be recognized nationally by programs such as the EPA Green Power Partnership."

Reflective of 3 Phases' impact, one quarter of all 33 Green Power Leadership Awards granted by the U.S. EPA and DOE were associated with 3 Phases Energy, either directly or through its partners. 3 Phases Energy serves an elite group of green power purchasers, including 7 of the Top 10 largest in the United States. As a partner to utilities, 3 Phases' programs consistently exceed national benchmarks. 3 Phases' customers receiving Green Power Leadership Awards this year include Safeway Inc., Starbucks Coffee, HSBC North America, Johnson & Johnson, U.S. Air Force and its utility green pricing partnership program with PacifiCorp, Blue Sky.

The U.S. Department of Energy recently announced that voluntary demand for renewable energy increased tenfold in the past five years, primarily attributable to large corporate buyers of green power. 3 Phases Energy serves 28 Fortune 500 companies, has formed partnerships to support four utility green pricing programs, and currently supports 230 MW of new renewable energy capacity, representing 10% of national voluntary demand for renewable energy.

By developing genuine partnerships with visionary businesses, 3 Phases Energy has shown how an organization and its partners can work together to build awareness and relevancy of renewable energy while bringing new, clean generation to market.
