KOHL'S DEPARTMENT STORES ANNOUNCES FIRST TIME POSITION ON EPA'S LIST OF TOP 10 RETAIL PARTNERS IN THE GREEN POWER PARTNERSHIP

Company Also Appears on EPA's Top 25 Green Power Purchasers and Fortune 500 Lists

MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis., January 29, 2007 — Kohl's Corporation (NYSE: KSS) today announced its new position on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) list of Top 10 Retail Partners in the Green Power Partnership. Debuting on the list in the fifth position, Kohl's is being recognized for its voluntary purchase of more than 80 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power, representing eight percent of the retailer's annual electricity usage. EPA also recognized Kohl's as one of the nation's Top 25 Green Power Purchasers and among the largest green power purchasers in the Fortune 500.

EPA released its updated Top 10 Retail Partners list today, which recognizes the nation's largest green power purchasers within the retail category. EPA also released its updated Top 25 list, which highlights the largest national purchasers in the Green Power Partnership. Kohl's is currently ranked No. 23. Both lists highlight EPA Green Power Partners that have completed the largest annual voluntary purchases through Dec. 31, 2006. The top partner lists are updated quarterly.

Kohl's is also participating in EPA's Fortune 500 Green Power Challenge and currently ranks No. 11 on EPA's Fortune 500 list of Green Power Partners. EPA recently announced its Fortune 500 Green Power Challenge. The goal of EPA's 13-month campaign is roughly to double the existing green power purchases among participating Fortune 500 Green Power Partners in order to exceed 5 billion kWh of collective green power purchasing annually. There are more than 40 Fortune 500 Partners in EPA's Green Power Partnership.

"We are honored to be recognized by EPA as a Top 10 Retail Partner, Top 25 Green Power Purchaser and a top Fortune 500 green power partner along side other leading companies who like us, are purchasing green power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional electricity use," said Ken Bonning, executive vice president logistics of Kohl's. "We continue to be committed in our efforts to be an environmentally responsible retailer and our recent significant green power purchase further cements our dedication to the future of our environment."

"Kohl's purchase of green power helps reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions," said Bill Wehrum, acting assistant administrator of EPA's Office of Air and Radiation. "I applaud Kohl's Department Stores for its leadership among the retail sector and for showing that environmental stewardship and economic prosperity can go hand-in-hand."

Green power includes electricity that is partially or entirely generated from clean resources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, biomass and low-impact hydro. Green power is considered cleaner than conventional sources of electricity and has lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, a greenhouse gas linked to global climate change. Green power purchases accelerate the development of new renewable energy capacity nationwide.

Based on national average utility sub region emissions rates, the U.S. EPA estimates that Kohl's purchase is equivalent to avoiding the CO2 emissions of nearly 11,000 passenger cars per year, or avoiding the equivalent CO2 emissions associated with over 5.7 million gallons of gasoline annually.
