Dell global headquarters campus going 100 per cent green
25-APR-2008
Dell is now powering 100 per cent of its 2.1 million square-foot global headquarters campus, home to more than 10,000 employees, with 100 per cent green power, the latest step in meeting the company's 2008 carbon neutral commitment.
'It's time for our industry to take a lead role in creating a clean energy future,' said Paul Bell, president, Dell Americas. 'Today, we are challenging every technology company to work with their suppliers and partners in integrating green power and energy-efficient strategies into their operations.'
'Powering an entire campus with green power, in partnership with these two leading companies, is an important step in becoming the greenest technology company on the planet and the right thing to do for our shared earth,' said Mr. Bell. 'At the same time we're using Dell green technology to drive operating expense down.'
Dell is using all of the power generated from Waste Management's Austin Community Landfill gas-to-energy plant, meeting 40 per cent of Dell headquarters' campus power needs. The remaining 60 per cent comes from existing wind farms and is provided by TXU Energy.
