AT&T enters deals to buy 520 MW renewable energy from NextEra Energy Resources

AT&T will purchase 520 megawatts (MW) of wind power through two agreements with subsidiaries of NextEra Energy Resources, an operator of renewable energy projects. AT&T said the combined deals constitute one of the largest corporate renewable energy purchases in the US. It’s also a key component of its goal to develop and leverage technology products that enable carbon savings 10 times the footprint of its operations by 2025.

220 MW of power will come from the Minco V Wind Farm located in Caddo County, Oklahoma, while 300 MW will be delivered by a wind farm in Webb and Duval Counties in Texas. The projects are expected to generate savings equivalent to taking 350,595 passenger vehicles off the road or providing electricity for a quarter million homes a year.
