Visa Deepens Global Commitment to Sustainability by Securing a New Regional Renewable Energy Agreement - Seite 2

“We used our market knowledge and expertise to integrate a package of renewable resources that meet Visa’s needs,” said David Black, CEO, MP2 Energy. “We’re really pleased to show a tangible example of the benefits of allowing businesses in the commonwealth to have competitive choices in meeting renewable energy supply goals.”

“Visa’s new agreement with MP2 Energy supports demand for renewable generation and, by extension, creation of job opportunities in the renewable energy sector in the commonwealth,” said Governor Ralph Northam. “Companies like Visa, leveraging the expertise of industry leaders such as MP2 Energy, helps Virginia advance the goals of the Clean Economy Act and the commonwealth’s Clean Energy Policy. This announcement reinforces our leadership position among states proving that a clean environment and a strong economy go hand-in-hand.”
