The deal with Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD), which is purchasing the power from the facility, enables BD to utilize 30MW of that generation to offset electricity use from its two manufacturing facilities in the state.

BD, a global medical technology company based in New Jersey, says the deal is an important milestone in its worldwide sustainability program. BD has already met four out of five of its 2015 sustainability goals including a target to source 25% of its global electricity use from renewable energy.
