It may not have much green food on its menu, but McDonald’s has cooked up two more helpings of green energy, buying 326MW of wind power from US developer Apex Clean Energy under two corporate power-purchase agreements (PPAs).

The fast-food giant will purchase 200MW from the 303MW Caddo wind farm in Oklahoma and 126MW from the 300MW Lincoln Land wind farm in Illinois — building on the 220MW it has already bought from the Apex-developed Aviator Wind West project in Texas.

“Apex is thrilled to be a long-term partner of McDonald’s in its efforts to leverage its scale to create a healthier planet for generations to come,” said Mark Goodwin, president and CEO of Apex Clean Energy, apparently unaware of the irony of using the words “healthier” and “McDonald’s” in the same sentence.

“As one of the world’s largest restaurant companies, McDonald’s is uniquely positioned to catalyze action around climate change,” said Emma Cox, North American Sustainability at McDonald’s.

Last month, the restaurant chain agreed to buy 160MW from the 1.3GW Samson Solar Energy Center in Texas.

The company plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its restaurants and offices by 36% (compared to 2015 levels) by 2030, while at the same cutting the emissions intensity of its supply chain by 31%.

Apex Clean Energy led the industry in corporate PPAs last year, with nearly 2GW of deals.
