Enel North America and food and snacks giant Mars have signed a massive clean energy deal that will power up Mars\u2019s operations with Texas solar.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The two companies completed a power purchase agreement (PPA) for the full output \u2013 all\u00a0851 megawatts (MW) \u2013 of three Texas solar farms. Together, those plants are expected to deliver 1.8 terawatt-hours of electricity annually, the equivalent of enough electricity to power 150,000 homes.\u00a0That makes this Enel\u2019s largest corporate PPA worldwide.<\/p>\n

Michele Di Murro, CEO of Enel North America, said the deal \u201cshows how renewables are among the fastest and most affordable solutions to meet the nation\u2019s energy needs.\u00a0Through these agreements, we\u2019re adding clean capacity to the Texas grid while supporting a leading manufacturer\u2019s sustainability goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Mars, the move goes beyond just greening its own factories. Kevin Rabinovitch, global VP of sustainability at Mars, explained that this PPA \u201clets us bring demand for all the electricity used in our value chain to the clean energy market in a highly efficient manner. The more demand we create together, the faster we can build the future we all want.\u201d<\/p>\n

All three solar farms will use sheep grazing to manage vegetation, a dual-use practice Enel<\/a> has scaled through the largest solar grazing agreement in the US.<\/p>\n
