T-Mobile was the first and only U.S. carrier to announce an ambitious goal in 2018 to get 100% of its entire electricity from renewable energy sources by the end of 2021. The business revealed today that it was the first in the cellular industry to do so. The Un-carrier reached its RE100 objective despite a historic merger that greatly increased its electricity demands, thanks to a mix of renewable energy investments that boost the company’s move for the mobilization for a sustainable world.
“T-Mobile put a stake in the ground as the first telecom to commit to going all in on renewable energy by the end of 2021, and now we’re the first to hit this milestone years ahead of others,” said the CEO of T-Mobile Mike Sievert, as quoted by CSRWire. “This was no easy task, but we set a goal and we achieved it. Today, thanks to amazing efforts from a team who was unwavering in our commitment to reduce our impact on the planet, the Un-carrier is powering America’s largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network with 100% clean electricity.”
T-Mobile created a renewable energy agenda that involves eight virtual power arrangements, 19 retail partnerships, one Green Direct program, and standalone Renewable Energy Certificates which assist projects around the country to help attain the 100 percent target. As a consequence, the corporation has invested yearly in enough wind and solar power to offset every unit of electricity used. T-Mobile has committed for about 3.4 million MWh of sustainable energy each year from nine big wind and solar farm projects (including the virtual power agreements and Green Direct program). This is enough to supply energy over 313,000 households per year.
Aside from arrangements that make a significant contribution to T-Mobile’s energy matching initiatives, the firm also sponsors 37 community solar projects in Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, and Oregon, which will local renewable electricity networks with over 2.1 million MWh over 25 years.
