EPA Recognizes Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc. For Leading Green Power Use

Universal Insurance Holdings (NYSE: UVE) (the “Company”) today announced today that they recently joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership. Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc. is using 652,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually, which is enough green power to meet 25 percent of the organization's electricity use. By choosing green power, Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc. is helping advance the voluntary market for green power and development of those sources.

“This is a great honor, and we are proud to be recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,” said Stephen Donaghy, Chief Executive Officer. “Using green power helps our organization reduce air pollution and lower our emissions footprint, while also sending a message to others across the country that green power is an affordable, accessible choice.”

By moving the needle in the voluntary green power market, Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc. and other Green Power Partners are helping to reduce the negative health impacts of air emissions including those related to ozone, fine particles, acid rain, and regional haze.

"EPA applauds Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc. for its leadership position in the green power marketplace," said James Critchfield, Program Manager of EPA's Green Power Partnership. "Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc. is an excellent example for other organizations in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through green power investment and use."

According to the U.S. EPA, Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc.’s green power use is equivalent to 1,161,251 miles driven by an average passenger vehicle or 510,708 pounds of coal burned.
