CMS Energy said it purchased a 51% majority stake in Aviator
Wind, a 525-megawatt wind energy project in Texas that will support
efforts by Facebook Inc. and McDonald's Corp. to achieve clean
energy goals.
The project will start operations by fall 2020 in Coke County,
about 250 miles southwest of Dallas, CMS said. Aviator Wind will be
operated by CMS Enterprises, a subsidiary that develops, owns and
operates utility-scale renewable energy facilities, including wind
and solar.
CMS Enterprises owns and operates 11 independent power plants
and more than 1,800 megawatts of generation in the U.S., the
company said.
CMS said Aviator Wind will help Facebook reach its goal to
reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 75% and support 100% of its
operations with renewable energy this year.
McDonald's set a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target
approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. "Through this
project, we're able to significantly generate progress toward our
Climate Action Target to reduce emissions related to McDonald's
restaurants and offices by 36% by 2030," said Emma Cox,
sustainability manager for McDonald's.
