Under the terms of the new contract, PPG will receive energy and project-specific renewable energy certificates (RECs) from Big Star over a period of 10 years. More specifically, the company will procure about 4.6 million kWh of energy per year by using the Constellation Offsite Renewables (CORe) retail power product.
“At PPG, one of our 2025 sustainability goals is to increase renewable energy to 25% of total electricity usage, exclusive of greenhouse gas reductions,” said Diane Kappas, PPG vice president of global sustainability, adding that the company plans to expand renewable energy at other sites across the nation.
