The wind farm will be acquired by TerraForm, a global owner and operator of renewable energy plants, in 2016 once it becomes operational.<\/p>\n<p>HP said the\u00a012 MW of wind electricity it agreed to purchase annually is enough to power all of its Texas-based datacentre operations, and will enable the company to reach its 2020 operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goal by the end of this year, five years ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis agreement represents the latest step we are taking on HP&#8217;s journey to reduce our carbon footprint across our entire value chain, while creating a stronger, more resilient company and a sustainable world,\u201d said Gabi Zedlmayer, vice president and chief progress officer, Corporate Affairs, HP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s an important milestone in driving HP Living Progress as we work to create a better future for everyone through our actions and innovations,\u201d Zedlmayer said.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Gaynor, executive vice president, Americas and EMEA, SunEdison said: \u201cBy powering their data centers with renewable energy, HP is taking an important step toward a clean energy future while lowering their operating costs.
