DuPont to source renewable energy through wind energy center in Texas

In Delaware, DuPont announced that the Appaloosa Run Wind Energy Center, a wind energy project resulting from a power purchase agreement (VPPA) with a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, is already operational. The Appaloosa Run Wind Energy Center, located in Upton County, Texas, will generate 135 megawatts of new wind power capacity or approximately 528,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually. It will deliver the clean energy equivalent to avoiding the carbon emissions from more than 81,000 passenger cars driven each year, or the annual electricity consumption of nearly 70,000 homes. The project will also help support DuPont’s Acting on Climate goal of reducing absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 30%, including sourcing 60% of electricity from renewable energy, by 2030, and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
