Kellogg Company aims to achieve over 50 percent renewable electricity globally by end of 2022
Kellogg recently announced that the company will achieve over 50 percent renewable energy to address the electricity needs of its owned manufacturing globally by the end of 2022. The company signed a long-term wind energy virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) in North America with Enel Green Power for approximately 360 gigawatt hours (GWh) of wind electricity annually, which is equal to 50 percent of the volume of electricity used across Kellogg's North American manufacturing facilities.
Kellogg's VPPA portion of the renewable energy generated by the wind farm is equivalent to the amount of electricity it takes to power more than 43,000 homes each year.
