US corporations have contracted for a record 3.12 GW of renewable energy projects this year, according to the Business Renewables Center (BRC), an initiative of the Rocky Mountain Institute. The previous record of 3.57 GW was set in 2015, and last year saw 2.89 GW of projects announced. Facebook’s agreement to buy 437 MW of solar energy for a data centre in Oregon helped push the figure significantly higher this year.
