RE100 member Iron Mountain has announced its biggest power purchase agreement (PPA) yet, signing a corporate deal for 145 MW of new wind power from a project in Kansas.
RE100 is the global corporate leadership initiative on renewable electricity led by The Climate Group in partnership with CDP.
The amount of renewable electricity generated by the PPA will be enough to power 56,000 US homes and will reduce fossil fuel emissions equivalent to removing more than 101,000 cars from the road annually.
The wind farm will also support 250 jobs during construction and generate millions of dollars in revenue for the local community.
Sam Kimmins, Head of RE100, The Climate Group, said: “With this new power purchase agreement, Iron Mountain is bringing more renewable power onto the Kansas grid, supporting local economic growth and jobs and decarbonizing its own operations.”
He added: “RE100 members are driving forward a clean economy and this is a shining example of how renewables are a win-win for both business and the climate.”
