BMW Ranks 4th on EPA's Top 20 Green Power Partners for On-Site Power Generation Alternative Energy Initiatives at South Carolina Facility Confirm Sustainability Strategy

Spartanburg, SC - April 28, 2011: BMW announced today that its South Carolina plant has increased its ranking to No. 4 on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Top 20 On-site Generation list of the largest green power users. In 2010, through BMW's on-site landfill gas energy system, the company generated nearly 62 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of power. This represents about 37% of the company's overall electricity use, the highest usage percentage of the EPA's top 10 Green Power Partners. It also underscores the company's decision to exchange the traditional sources of electricity generation in support of cleaner, renewable energy alternatives.
