Investing in green energy.
Verizon has committed to source or generate renewable energy equivalent to 50% of our total annual electricity consumption by 2025.
In a little over a year, Verizon has become one of the largest corporate buyers of U.S. renewable energy, entering into 13 long-term power purchase agreements totaling nearly 1.7 GW of renewable energy capacity. These agreements support the construction of new wind and solar facilities. With these agreements, we are making significant progress toward our renewable energy goal.
