General Motors (GM) has announced that all its manufacturing facilities in Ohio and Indiana will have their electricity needs met by 100 percent renewable energy.
In a statement on Tuesday, GM said it would purchase 200 megawatts (MW) of wind energy from wind farms in Ohio and Illinois. The business added that when the turbines come online at the end of 2018, 20 percent of its global electricity use would be powered by renewables.
“We’re helping provide solutions to green the grid through these new renewable energy deals and sharing best practices with other companies so they too can reduce risk and energy costs,” Rob Threlkeld, global manager of renewable energy at GM, said.
