DALLAS, May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SEKISUI Specialty
Chemical is excited to announce a 5-year, renewable energy
agreement with TXU Energy. Edge Energy Consulting, LLC
provided advisory services to SEKISUI throughout the entire
procurement process. This is one of several measures SEKISUI is
taking to improve our company's balance with natural resources and
reduce our carbon footprint.
Beginning in April 2022, SEKISU''s
renewable purchase will be sourced from the Indian Mesa wind farm
located in Pecos County,
Texas. With a nameplate capacity of 92 MWs, the Indian Mesa
project provides, on average, 210,000 MWhs per year to the
Texas electricity grid.
In 2020, SEKISUI CHEMICAL (SEKISUI Specialty Chemical's parent
company) expressed its long-term plan as Vision 2030: an aggressive
set of goals centered around ESG supportive innovation,
sustainability, and responsible growth. A key metric monitored in
SEKISUI's progress will be renewable energy as a percentage of
purchased power. SEKISUI's partnership with TXU Energy brings the
company one step closer to the Vision 2030 goal of using 100%
renewable energy.
Adoption of Vision 2030 also aligned SEKISUI CHEMICAL's ESG
goals with the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). The Sustainable Development Goals are a collection of 17
interlinked global goals designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a
better and more sustainable future for all". SDG #12 aims to ensure
sustainable consumption and production patterns, with a focus on
reducing the use of fossil fuels which parallels SEKISUI ESG
principle of mitigating of climate change.
SEKISUI Specialty Chemicals is proud of its renewable energy
commitment through TXU Energy and the positive effects it will have
on our business' environmental footprint.
