  JERSEY CITY, NJ, Apr 22 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Datapipe, a leading provider of managed hosting and IT services,
announced today its partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA's) Green Power Partnership. Datapipe is purchasing nearly
nine million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually, which is
enough to power its Somerset One data center solely on renewable energy
resources. Datapipe is purchasing Renewable Energy Credits through
Constellation NewEnergy. This purchase demonstrates a proactive choice to
switch away from traditional sources of electricity generation and
support cleaner, renewable energy alternatives. 

    "We're pleased to be recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency for choosing to purchase green power," said Robb Allen, Datapipe
CEO. "Investing in sustainable energy is the right thing to do for our
kids, our community and our clients."

    Green power is electricity that is generated from environmentally
preferable renewable resources, such as wind, solar, geothermal, biogas,
biomass and low-impact hydro. These resources generate electricity with a
net zero increase in carbon dioxide emissions, while offering a superior
environmental profile compared to traditional power generation sources.
Green power purchases also support the development of new renewable
energy generation sources nationwide.

    "The EPA is pleased to welcome Datapipe to the Green Power Partnership,"
said Susan Wickwire, Chief of the Energy Supply and Industry Branch at
USEPA. "We applaud their commitment to using green power to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions," Wickwire added.
