Nestlé Waters North America (NWNA) and ENGIE Resources have announced that they have signed a renewable energy agreement through which ENGIE will supply over 50% of the energy needed for NWNA’s manufacturing and distribution facilities in Texas.
With this agreement, NWNA operations in Travis, McLennan, Dallas, and Harris counties will be supplied by renewable wind energy from the Midway Wind Farm in San Patricio County, Texas, supporting Nestlé’s global goal to transition to 100% renewable energy use in its operations. The wind farm has an installed capacity of 163 MW and is scheduled to commence commercial operations in December 2018.
The agreement will include up to 70,500 renewable energy certificates (RECs) per year from Midway Wind LLC. Based on current electrical usage, by transitioning its electrical power needs to renewable sources, the carbon footprint from NWNA’s Texas factories will be reduced by more than 44,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent per year. This is the equivalent of taking 9,500 vehicles off the road for one year.
