BT Group: renewables target for 2020 already within reach

(CercleFinance.com) - Wind and solar now accounts for 96% of BT's energy consumption, less than 4% short of the group's 2020 target, the British telecom giant said on Friday.


BT said that it has signed two new energy deals, which will mean that 96% of its global operations are powered by renewable electricity, up from 81% last year.

The deals also mean that its UK mobile unit EE is now powered by 100%-certified renewable sources, such as wind farms and solar plants.

As part of its 2020 objectives, BT has set a target to purchase solely 100%-renewable electricity to power its operations.
