Salesforce signs D-REC deal to scale renewable energy in emerging markets
US software giant Salesforce has signed an agreement with renewables aggregator Powertrust to purchase distributed renewable energy from new projects built through a global network of small-scale developers in emerging markets.
Salesforce – which committed to match 100% of the electricity it uses with renewable energy in 2021 – has acquired 35,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) per year of distributed renewable energy over eight years from 2023. The agreement will generate up to $65m of investment in new solar capacity, avoiding more than 50,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year and providing thousands of people with access to electricity for the first time, said Powertrust in a statement.
