Zoetis Partners with Scout Clean Energy to Boost Renewable Energy Efforts
Zoetis Inc., a leading US veterinary medicine producer, has taken a significant step towards sustainable energy by signing a 12-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) with Scout Clean Energy. This agreement will see Zoetis credited with 50 MW of renewable energy certificates (RECs) generated by the Heart of Texas wind farm.
Announced by Scout Clean Energy, the owner and operator of the wind farm based in McCulloch County, Texas, this collaboration marks a pivotal moment in Zoetis' commitment to environmental stewardship.
The Heart of Texas wind farm, boasting a capacity of 180 MW, represents a beacon of renewable energy in the heart of Texas. Commissioned in 2020, the facility underscores Scout Clean Energy's dedication to advancing clean energy solutions in the region.
This VPPA not only aligns with Zoetis' goal to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations by 2030 but also demonstrates the company's dedication to the RE100 initiative. By acquiring RECs from renewable sources like the Heart of Texas wind farm, Zoetis solidifies its position as a leader in sustainable practices within the veterinary medicine industry.
As the world continues to grapple with climate change, partnerships like this highlight the pivotal role that corporations can play in driving positive environmental change. Zoetis' collaboration with Scout Clean Energy sets a commendable example for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint and embrace a cleaner, greener future.
