Corporate US clean energy procurement surges to record in 2022 as solar outpaces wind: ACP

US corporations purchased almost 20GW of clean energy in 2022, surpassing the prior year record by about 4GW, with economic and environmental benefits and growing pressure to meet sustainability targets driving greater procurement, according to a new report by American Clean Power Association (ACP).

Those reasons have led to a “100-times increase in corporate clean power procurement over the past decade,” said interim CEO JC Sandberg and chief strategy officer at ACP, a national trade group based in Washington, DC.
