Campbell Soup Company and Enel North America have signed a 12-year virtual renewable power purchase agreement (PPA) to support Campbell’s goals to lessen its greenhouse gas emissions. Campbell will buy 115 MW of Enel's 300 WM Seven Cowboy wind project in Oklahoma, USA, and its renewable energy credits. The contract starts in July 2023.
Using expected production from Campbell’s portion of the wind project, the renewable electricity is estimated to avoid approximately 191,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions every year, or the equivalent of approximately 29% of Campbell’s fiscal year 2021 combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
Installed Southwest of Oklahoma City, the Seven Cowboy wind farm will consist of 107 turbines that are anticipated to generate over 1.3 TWh of energy annually, which is enough to power over 120,000 American houses.
