Partner Profile The University of Washington (UW), which joined the Partnership in May of 2006, is purchasing six percent of its power from a voluntary green power product. In addition to their green power leadership, UW has a strong commitment to environmental stewardship. Since the early 1990s the University has partnered with its electricity provider to conserve energy. During 2005 alone, thirty energy saving projects were completed which will save 3,349,000 kWh per year, enough to power 300 homes for a year.
