Intel Energy Solutions

Energy Supply Solutions

• Intel buys about 14 million kWh of PGE Clean Wind power annually, enough to meet the needs of almost 1,300 average homes in the utility’s service territory. Intel Corporation is Oregon's largest retail renewable power user and one of the largest in the West.

Energy Demand Solutions

• Intel, working closely with ENERGY STAR^®, implemented power management on 65,000 laptop displays and 45,000 desktop monitors worldwide. This initiative will save about 9,650,000 kWh over the next year, or enough electricity to light 11,000 U.S. homes for one month. At $0.05 per kWh, Intel will realize an annual savings of $482,000.
  
  
• Intel provides enabling technology for electronics manufacturers to build products that meet or exceed the ENERGY STAR^® standard. For example, Intel’s Instantly Available PC allows PCs to go to under 5 watts "sleep mode" with wake up in under 5 seconds. From 2002 to 2010, these savings will prevent 159 metric tons of CO₂ emissions.
