Micron Technology on Thursday said it inked a 15-year virtual power-purchase agreement for its U.S. operations with renewable-energy company Terra-Gen, as the memory-chip maker works to reduce its carbon footprint.

The Boise, Idaho, company said it will receive about 178 megawatts of wind electricity capacity and associated renewable-energy certificates annually under the contract with Terra-Gen, which operates more than 2.2 gigawatt-hours of wind, solar and energy storage across the U.S.

Micron, which has pledged to spend about $1 billion by 2028 to support its environmental targets, said the deal bolsters its plan to source 100% renewable energy across its U.S. operations by the end of 2025 and its mission to achieve net zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050.
