Rivian purchases renewable energy to power Illinois plant
Dec. 6, 2022
This power purchase agreement marks Rivian's first large-scale purchase of renewable energy.
Rivian has agreed to purchase 50 megawatts (MW) of electricity from Apex Clean Energy's Goose Creek Wind farm in Illinois. According to Rivian, this purchase, in combination with other initiatives, will allow the company to run its Normal, Illinois, plant using 75% carbon-free energy. This power purchase agreement marks Rivian's first large-scale purchase of renewable energy.
In a recent quote, Andrew Peterman, Rivian Director of Renewable Energy, said, "About a third of global greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation, with nearly another third from electricity generation. We have a tremendous opportunity at Rivian to help tackle emissions beyond the tailpipe to support decarbonization of manufacturing and charging of electric vehicles."
