In recognition of its adoption of renewable electricity, Signature Aviation has received a 2024 Green Power Leadership Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The global aviation services provider was honored on Tuesday at the Renewable Energy Markets Conference in Denver for its outstanding clean energy initiatives.
Green power is defined as electricity generated by renewable resources such as wind, solar, geothermal, low-impact hydro, biogas, and eligible biomass. Signature currently uses more than 97 million kilowatt-hours of green power company-wide for the year, enough to meet 100% of its overall electricity demand. That amount, according to the EPA, is enough to power approximately 9,000 average homes annually.
The award—which has been presented every year by the agency for more than two decades to companies that have embraced green power and advanced the nation’s renewable power market—also recognized Signature’s tiered green power development strategy, including onsite solar energy generation, its investment in renewable energy, and electrification initiatives, as well as its industry engagement and leadership.
Signature is the first FBO chain to achieve 100% green energy procurement. CEO Tony Lefebvre served as chair of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association's environmental committee from 2020 to 2023, stressing the importance of renewable energy to various groups across the value chain.
“We are honored to be recognized by the [EPA] for our achievements in helping bring about a clean energy future,” said Lefebvre. “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.”
