ABOUT THE DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY, DOW
DETAILS
As a part of Dow’s Energy Plan and its Sustainability Goals,
The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE:DOW)
has taken another step towards reducing
its own carbon “footprint.” Marking milestone progress,
Dow’s Energy business has signed a long-term agreement
with a new wind farm, currently under development
in South Texas by a subsidiary of Bordas Wind Energy, LLC,
a joint venture between MAP® and Enerverse, LLC.
The wind farm, to be complete in first quarter 2016,
will span nearly 35,000 acres, and will
supply Dow’s Freeport Texas Manufacturing facility
with 200 MW of wind power annually,
equivalent to the amount of electricity needed
to power more than 55,000 homes.
As a direct result, Dow is
the first company in the U.S. to power a manufacturing site
with renewable energy at this scale, and
will become the third largest corporate purchaser of wind energy
in the United States.
As one of the largest industrial energy consumers in the world,
Dow has consistently been on
the forefront of new energy technology improvements.
Dow is on track to meet its 2025 renewable energy goal
as part of its Sustainability Goal commitments.
