Honda Motor, Tesla Sign Solar VPPAs
Two automotive manufacturers, Honda Motor and Tesla, signed agreements through virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs) for solar energy.
Invenergy, a privately-held developer, owner, and operator of clean energy choices, announced that commercial operations started at the 300 MW Delilah I Solar Energy Center (Delilah 1) in Lamar and Red River Counties, Texas. WEC Energy Group is the majority owner of Delilah I.
The energy generated from Delilah I Solar will be purchased by Honda Motor Co., LTD (200 MW) and Tesla (100 MW) through VPPAs and be delivered to the local grid. Both Honda and Tesla’s commitment brings new generation capacity online in Texas and demonstrates a dedication to lower emissions and support of energy diversification in the United States.
“In North America, Honda is nearing its goal of sourcing 100% of its electricity from carbon-free sources,” said Daniel Bremer, carbon neutrality manager, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., in a statement. “As we accelerate toward achieving carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities, our 200 MW VPPA with Delilah I Solar Energy Center will significantly cut CO2 emissions from Honda U.S. auto manufacturing operations while adding more clean energy into the local grid.”
