Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) said it signed a 15-year virtual power purchase agreement for its U.S. operations with Terra-Gen.
Under the agreement, Micron will get ~178 megawatts (MW) of wind electricity capacity and associated renewable energy certificates annually.
Micron noted that the contract will support its U.S. target to reach 100% renewable energy by the end of 2025 and marks the latest initiative in Micron's aim to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

"Terra-Genâs proven track record of building and operating efficient facilities, as well as the maturity of this particular wind project enables Micron to diversify our energy portfolio and to effectively manage our long-term energy costs in the U.S." said Manish Bhatia, executive vice president of Global Operations, Micron.
Once the project starts generating electricity for Micron, it is expected to avoid more than 280K metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e) emissions annually.
