Volvo Car Canada is teaming up with Bullfrog Power to provide the OEM’s Canadian corporate office with 100 per cent green electricity.
Bullfrog Power will use its generators to put clean, pollution-free electricity onto the grid to match the amount of conventional power that the OEM is using at its head office. This includes using a blend of wind and low-impact hydro power that the company said is sourced from “new Canadian renewable energy facilities.”
“We are excited to welcome Volvo Car Canada to the bullfrog-powered community,” said Sean Drygas, Spark Power Vice President, Sales, Marketing, Strategy & Sustainability. “By drawing on green electricity, Volvo is helping to reduce our dependence on polluting forms of energy and transition Canada to renewable energy sources.”
The agreement is meant to reinforce Volvo Cars’ climate-neutrality objectives. Matt Girgis, Managing Director of Volvo Car Canada, said sustainability is just as important as safety for Volvo.
“Choosing to support our head office with 100 per cent renewable energy is a simple and effective way for us to demonstrate our commitment to a clean energy future,” said Girgis.
The OEM wants to become a climate-neutral company by 2040.
