T-Mobile announced that it is going green with the largest wind power investment ever by a US wireless company.
The Operator signed a long-term agreement for up to 160 MW from the new Red Dirt wind project in Oklahoma, which will help T-Mobile to increase efficiencies and power the company’s operations across the US, including retail stores, call centers and network operations.
The 300 MW Red Dirt wind project is owned and will be operated by Enel Green Power North America(EGPNA) and will be one of EGPNA’s largest wind farms in Oklahoma. It is expected to generate approximately 1,200 GWh of renewable energy annually – equivalent to the energy consumption needs of more than 97,000 U.S. households. Construction of the Red Dirt wind project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2017.
Wind power is among the cleanest available sources of renewable energy, according to the EPA.
