AT&T, NextEra Strike Deal for Wind Power

AT&T, headquartered in Dallas, announced its intent to acquire 520 megawatts (MW) of wind power, thanks to two agreements with NextEra Energy Resources. The energy is coming from Minco V Wind Farm in Caddo County, OK, and the remainder from a wind farm in Webb and Duval Counties in Texas. The deals constitute one of the largest corporate renewable energy purchase in the United States.

The telecommunications giant indicated that the agreement with renewable energy project operator NextEra Energy Resources is part of a goal to move toward carbon savings 10 times its operational footprint by 2025. “We’ve been working for a long time to ensure our wind projects deliver for both our business and the environment,” said Scott Mair, President, AT&T Operations. “We will continue to explore renewable energy solutions to help create a better, more sustainable world.”
