Powerful Turnout for the Power IT Down Turn Off

By all accounts Power IT Down Day 2010 was a powerful success.

At close of business on Friday, Aug. 27, 17,639 people working for civilian agencies, defense agencies and industry pledged to turn off all of their electronic equipment before heading home for the weekend. That is more than three times the 5,600 people who participated in Power IT Down Day 2009!

The savings from this record turn off turnout generated a $60,000 donation to the Wounded Warrior Project from the event’s sponsors Citrix, GTSI, HP and Intel.

PSC was proud to be a partner in the event, alongside Boscobel, FedScoop, GovLoop and Knox County, Tenn. We’re looking forward to setting a new record in 2011.
