TOKYO -- Suzuki Motor has begun to buy wind and solar power for a plant in the Indian state of Gujarat from a local renewable energy provider, a move expected to eliminate about 6% of the Japanese automaker's global carbon dioxide emissions.
Suzuki began procuring electricity in May from a 17.6-megawatt solar-wind hybrid facility run by ReNew Power, built exclusively for the automaker, according to an announcement Thursday. This marks the Suzuki group's first use of an offsite corporate power purchase agreement.
