This initiative will accelerate the clean energy transition in Latin America while delivering significant community benefits to underserved regions, the company said in a statement.
Through this collaboration, Microsoft will purchase Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) generated by Powertrust’s solar projects, supporting Microsoft’s commitment to become carbon negative by 2030 and aligns with its broader strategy to reduce Scope 3 emissions and invest in sustainable, impactful energy solutions worldwide, it said.
Beyond reducing carbon emissions, the Powertrust collaboration with Microsoft is designed to deliver transformational benefits to local communities. The portfolio of solar projects will serve areas with limited access to clean energy, and will deliver strong local benefits.
Commenting on the development, Nick Fedorkiw, CEO of Powertrust, said, “This collaboration with Microsoft is a powerful example of how corporate climate leadership can go hand-in-hand with community empowerment. By investing in distributed solar in Mexico and Brazil, we’re not only accelerating the clean energy transition, but also delivering tangible benefits to the people who need it most.”
Danielle Decatur, Director, Microsoft Energy Team, remarked, “Microsoft is committed to building a more sustainable future in which communities can prosper. Our collaboration with Powertrust reflects our belief that enables new sustainability infrastructure that is fairly developed and enhances the health, safety, and overall well-being of local communities.”
