(DaVita, 25.Apr.2019) — By 2022, DaVita Inc. expects to use 100 percent renewable energy. The company has contracted with Longroad Energy on two virtual power purchase agreements (PPAs) facilitating the development of clean energy projects in Texas. Together, DaVita’s share of these projects will generate as much renewable energy as the amount of electricity used by the company’s North American operations.
DaVita’s share of the two projects in Texas – a wind farm and a solar farm – will generate approximately 625,000 megawatt hours of clean energy each year. This energy is the equivalent of avoiding carbon dioxide emissions from the annual electricity use of roughly 52,000 U.S. homes.
Schneider Electric Energy & Sustainability Services served as an advisor to DaVita on its selection of these projects.
