A report by World Wildlife Foundation, Ceres, Calvert Research & Management, and CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) shows that nearly half of all Fortune 500 companies are setting renewable energy targets. The analysis finds that 48% of Fortune 500 companies now have targets in place for renewable energy procurement, carbon pollution reductions, and/or energy efficiency.

Many companies have relied on purchases of wind to move toward their targets. More than 6,700 MW of wind has been procured by corporate and non-utility purchasers. According to wind energy sources, “With costs falling by two-thirds over thepast seven years and more than 18,700 MW of wind power capacity coming online in the near term, wind power stands ready to meet growing corporate demand.”
