LONDON: Wireless network operator T-Mobile US, Inc. is the latest leading company to join The Climate Group and CDP’s RE100 campaign, with a commitment to achieving 100% renewable electricity by 2021.
The American ‘Un-carrier’ has also unveiled a new contract for sourcing 160 megawatts (MW) of wind power from Infinity Renewables’ Solomon Forks Wind Project in Kansas, US, with power generation due to begin in early 2019.
This is the company’s second major power project, after the Red Forks Wind Power Project in Oklahoma went on line in December. Combined, the two wind farms will add 320 MW of renewable energy capacity for T-Mobile US; enough to meet 60% of its electricity needs.
“It’s the Un-carrier way to do the right thing by our customers, and moving to renewable energy is just a natural part of that,” said John Legere, President and CEO of T-Mobile US.
“And it’s not just the right thing to do – it’s smart business! We expect to cut T-Mobile’s energy costs by around US$100 million in the next 15 years thanks to this move. Imagine the awesome things we can do for our customers with that!”
