Corporate investment in clean energy continues to be strong, with deals announced in the third quarter of 2021 amounting to 2.4GW of new capacity. Some of these deals, with major companies like Walmart and Microsoft, are specifically designed to bring cleaner, more affordable energy to rural and minority communities, according to GreenBiz.
“The latest deals reflect Microsoft and Walmart’s ongoing efforts to take into account more social and community benefits into their energy strategies, hopefully paving the way for other corporations to do the same.”
