Whirlpool Corporation's Strategy for Renewable Energy in Its North America Operation Puts Company on EPA Green Power List Recognized for Green Power Leadership
"Adding clean, renewable energy to the electrical grid while helping to reduce the company's carbon footprint is an important part of our ongoing sustainability initiatives and will help us meet our Net Zero by 2030 goal for our operations."NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / June 6, 2024 / Whirlpool Corporation's renewable energy strategy for North American operations was recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by including the company on three of the EPA's Green Power Leadership lists. The company is No. 60 on the EPA's National Top 100 List of the largest green power users from the Green Power Partnership (GPP), No. 14 on the Top 30 On-site Generation list and No. 34 on EPA's list of Green Power Partners from the Fortune 500. Whirlpool Corp. is currently purchasing more than 301 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy from renewable sources annually, which represents 86 percent of its operations' total power needs and is equivalent to the annual electricity use of nearly 28,000 average American homes.
美國Whirlpool公司北美運營的可再生能源戰略獲得了美國環保署（EPA）的認可，併入選了EPA的三個綠色能源領導力排行榜。該公司在EPA的綠色能源夥伴關係（GPP）中位列第60位，是最大綠色能源使用量的100個團體之一，排名第14的是Top 30 On-site Generation榜單，排名第34的是Fortune 500中綠色能源合作伙伴名單，目前Whirlpool公司每年從可再生能源購買了301多億千瓦時（kWh）的能源，相當於其運營總用電量的86％，相當於近28,000個普通美國家庭的年用電量。
Whirlpool Corporation's goal is to use onsite renewable power where possible for manufacturing sites - primarily wind and solar energy. Secondary to that, the company has invested in two virtual power purchasing agreements (VPPAs), Limestone Wind in Dawson, Texas, with 53MW of clean energy produced from 88 turbines and Mesquite Sky in Callahan County, Texas. When fully operational, the VPPAs are expected to generate sufficient renewable energy to cover 100% of Whirlpool Corporation's U.S. sites' electrical consumption.
Whirlpool公司的目標是在可能的情況下爲製造工廠使用基於場地的可再生能源 - 主要是風能和太陽能。其次，該公司在德克薩斯州道森的石灰石風和卡拉漢縣的Mesquite Sky投資了兩份虛擬電力購買協議（VPPAs）。當VPPAs完全投入運營時，預計可以產生足夠的可再生能源來覆蓋Whirlpool公司美國工廠的電力消耗量。
"Adding clean, renewable energy to the electrical grid while helping to reduce the company's carbon footprint is an important part of our ongoing sustainability initiatives and will help us meet our Net Zero by 2030 goal for our operations," said Beat Stocker, senior director of global sustainability at Whirlpool Corp. "We are proud to be recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for being a leader in the green power market."
