Nestlé in the USA, in partnership with EDP Renewables (EDPR), has announced a 15-year power purchase agreement that will provide approximately 80 per cent of the electricity load for five Nestlé facilities in south-eastern Pennsylvania, USA.
EDP Renewables' Meadow Lake VI wind farm will generate and deliver 50 megawatts of electricity through the PJM Interconnection grid to manufacturing facilities and distribution centres. With the addition of the energy from the wind farm, 20 percent of the electricity Nestlé uses in the U.S. will come from renewable sources in 2019.
