Intuit Hits 100% Renewable Electricity Goal 10 Years Early |
The 419 MW Mesquite Star wind farm was just completed in Fisher County, Texas, and is now providing electricity for Ecolab, Lowe's, Intuit, and Brown University. In the case of Intuit (which you may have used to do your taxes this year), the company has now reached its 100% renewable electricity goal. As the headline notes, it has reached that goal 10 years earlier than it had committed.
The project is also providing Ecolab with 100% of its US electricity needs. The company has a goal of halving its carbon emissions by 2030 — presumably, based on 2019 levels, but I can't find details confirming the base year.
"The 100 MW agreement will generate enough clean energy to power the equivalent of all 143 Lowe's stores in Texas," said Chris Cassell, Lowe's director of corporate sustainability. Lowe's intends to cut carbon emissions to 40% below 2016 levels by 2030.
