A cohort of leading firms — including Cisco, Biogen, IDEXX Laboratories, and Waters Corporation — is boldly stepping towards a brighter, more resilient energy future.
Combined, they have acquired over 170 megawatts of cost-effective solar power from two prospective solar farms in Texas.

to Sustainability Roundtable.
The agreement, structured via the
Net Zero Alliance for Purchasers
employs a collective purchasing approach referred to as a
virtual power purchase agreement
(
VPPA
) to secure fixed energy prices from the newly implemented solar projects.
Such collective buys enable companies to mitigate long-term energy risks more efficiently without facing challenges solo, and they are increasingly being adopted as a preferred method for investing in this area.

Cisco secured the largest portion with a commitment of 100 megawatts, whereas the rest made comparatively modest yet significant acquisitions.
The two solar facilities, created by an international green energy company
X-ELIO
are anticipated to launch in 2027 and should produce approximately 367,000
