IEA urges proactive measures to integrate renewables
Sep 18, 2024 11:17 CESTT-Mobile US Inc (NYSE:PCS), the US subsidiary of German telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom (ETR:DTE), on Monday committed to using renewable electricity for all of its operations by 2021.
The mobile network operator said in a press release that it has completed a deal to buy 160 MW of the output of its Infinity Renewables’ 474-MW Solomon Forks wind farm in Kansas, which is planned to go live early next year. This will be the second wind park that T-Mobile buys power from, with the other being Enel Green Power North America Inc’s 300-MW Red Dirt plant in Oklahoma.
The two deals will see T-Mobile get the output of around 320 MW of wind power capacity, which will supply 60% of of the operator’s nationwide energy needs for retail stores, call centres and network operations. Its plan is to “buy enough wind power annually to account for every unit of electricity the company consumes,” a move that CEO Lohn Legere says will lower the company’s energy costs by around USD 100 million (EUR 80.7m) in the next 15 years.
T-Mobile is now a member of the Climate Group’s RE100 initiative, which unites companies from various sectors that aim to power 100% of their operations from renewable sources.
