Our project owner has an existing Green Power contract for other power needs on its campus. Does the owner need an entirely new GP contract, or can she simply up the existing contract for the new power demand of our building project?

Even better - if they have a current contract and have not previously allocated any of the green power purchase to previous LEED projects, they can simply write a letter allocating the necessary green power already purchased to this project. So potentially no additional purchase will be needed. This was the case in the past and I don't think anything changed in LEED 2009 so someone correct me if I am wrong.

This probably a stupid question, but the Green Power contact you refer to still must be Green-e certified supplier, right?

Yes or you must demonstrate equivalency with Green-e.
