Signature Aviation Receives Green Power Leadership Award from EPA
September 17 2024 - 2:54PM
Signature Aviation, the world’s largest network of private aviation
terminals, has received a 2024 Green Power Leadership Award from
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). For more than 20
years, EPA’s annual Green Power Leadership Awards have recognized
America’s leading green power users for their commitment to using
renewable electricity and advancing the nation’s green power
market. EPA presented Signature Aviation with a Green Power
Leadership Award at the 2024 Renewable Energy Markets Conference on
September 17, 2024.
EPA recognizes Green Power Partners like Signature Aviation with
a Green Power Leadership Award for outstanding clean energy
initiatives and impact on the green power market. Signature
Aviation is currently using more than 97 million kilowatt-hours
(kWh) of green power annually, which is enough to meet 100 percent
of the organization’s overall electricity use. By choosing green
power, Signature Aviation is taking action against climate change
and towards a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable energy
future.
“We are honored to be recognized by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency for our achievements in helping to bring about a
clean energy future,” said Tony Lefebvre, CEO of Signature. “As an
organization committed to shaping the future by meeting 100% of our
electricity needs through green power procurement, we have seen
firsthand that clean energy is an affordable, accessible choice
that can reduce the risks brought about by climate change. We’re
proud to be leaders in this effort and look forward to continuing
to find new ways to deliver an exceptional experience for our
guests, while also protecting the planet for future
generations.”
According to the EPA, Signature Aviation’s current green power
use of more than 97 million kWh is equivalent to the electricity
use of nearly 9,000 average American homes annually.
The award also recognizes Signature for its broader portfolio of
assets with a tiered green power development strategy of on-site
solar generation and renewable energy investments, ambitious
electrification initiatives, and their leadership and engagement
with peers through industry sector groups.
Signature Aviation leads its peers in green energy procurement
as the first network of private aviation terminals to achieve 100%
green power procurement. The company’s CEO, Tony Lefebvre, served
as the Chair of the Environmental Committee for The General
Aviation Manufacturer’s Association from 2020-2023, stressing the
importance of renewable electricity and electrification strategies
before multiple key value chain groups.
Green power is electricity generated from environmentally
preferable renewable resources, such as wind, solar, geothermal,
biogas, eligible biomass, and low-impact hydro. Using green power
helps advance the American green power market, which accelerates
the development of these resources in the United States.
