TaskUs joins power-purchase partnership to bring new solar plant to South Texas

In Texas, TaskUs has made a long-term commitment to support a partnership between Watershed, an enterprise climate platform, and renewables marketplace Ever.green to launch a fixed-price virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA). Through the VPPA, TaskUs and other customers are contributing to the financing of a new solar plant in Laredo, Texas. The solar energy produced by this plant is expected to lead to over 13,000 tons of CO2 avoided every year, the company said. “The fixed-price VPPA lets Watershed customers lock in years of renewable energy production that would not exist without their commitments,” said Watershed co-founder Taylor Francis. “What’s more, as corporate offsetting comes under intensified regulatory and media scrutiny, VPPA customers will have the assurance that they’re funding only the highest-quality projects.”
