Amy’s Kitchen to Purchase Over 14,000 MWh of Renewable Electricity
Amy’s Kitchen announced it will purchase renewable energy from Ørsted’s Sunflower Wind Farm in Marion County, Kan., in a reported first-of-its-kind Power Purchase Agreement that will provide wind power for almost 30% of the company’s operations. This action furthers the company’s goal of powering 100% of its operations with renewable electricity by 2030.
Amy’s is one of several Walmart suppliers invited to participate in the company’s renewable energy accelerator, Gigaton Power Purchase Agreement, powered by Schneider Electric’s NEO Network. Amy’s is joined by Great Lakes Cheese, Levi Strauss & Co., The J.M. Smucker Co. and Valvoline in establishing the initial cohort. This partnership is expected to support Walmart’s Project Gigaton goal aiming to reduce or avoid one gigaton of emissions from the Walmart global value chain by 2030.
