Hilton Moves to Top 10 on EPA’s Top 50 purchasers of Green Power
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that US / Virginia-based Hilton Worldwide is one of the top 10. That’s also on the agency’s list of national green power purchasers and EPA’s Green Leadership club. All for buying most noteworthy 10 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF GREEN POWER REQUIRED!!
Hilton Green Power Purchase Program
Hilton Worldwide has taken a major leap toward sustainability. The company now meets 94% of its electricity needs with green power. That’s not a small shift—it’s a massive commitment to cleaner energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, low-impact hydropower, and biogas.
Even more impressive, Hilton’s green power purchase totals over 300 million kilowatt-hours. To put that in perspective, it’s like removing more than 42,000 gas-powered cars from the road for a year. Or powering over 27,000 American homes for twelve months. That’s the kind of scale that creates real environmental impact.
Hilton Powers Ahead with Massive Green Energy Move
By moving away from fossil fuels, Hilton is shrinking its carbon footprint while also setting an example for the hospitality industry. These changes don’t just look good on a sustainability report—they improve air quality, support renewable markets, and reduce climate risk.
“Hilton is making its sustainability commitment clear by switching from traditional electricity to cleaner, renewable alternatives,” said Shawn M. Garvin, the EPA’s mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator. “I applaud Hilton’s progress—from number 41 to number nine on the list of top green power buyers in the U.S. I hope others in the industry follow their lead and help improve air quality.”
Hilton’s strategy proves that big business can be part of the solution. And it shows that large-scale change doesn’t have to come at the cost of comfort or quality. Guests still get the same level of service—they just get it from a company that’s working to protect the planet.
So next time you check into a Hilton, you’re not just getting a room. You’re supporting a company that’s checking in with the future, too.
