Sustainability Report 2021 57 Powering Growth with Renewables The accelerating digitization of the global economy is creating urgent demand for semiconductors, and Applied Materials is mobilizing our enterprise to deliver the equipment and expertise to meet that demand. At the same time, we understand our success as a business must not come at the expense of the climate and environment. That’s why we are continually seeking new opportunities in the low-carbon economy, such as entering into a Virtual Power Purchase Agreement with White Mesa Wind, a new, 500-megawatt wind project in Crockett County, Texas. Combining the generating power of 180 turbines, White Mesa began commercial operations on October 22, 2021, delivering clean power to offset a large percentage of our U.S. footprint. As our business grows, we will continue innovating operational efficiencies and seeking new renewable energy projects to fulfill our climate commitments. Sustainability Report 2021 Renewable Energy In 2020, Applied Materials committed to 100% renewable electricity use in the U.S. by 2022 and globally by 2030. Our global renewable energy strategy enables achievement of those targets via three complementary approaches: > On-site solar power generation: Applied Materials maintains on-site solar generating capacity at our facilities in Singapore; Austin, TX; Bangalore, India; and Xi’an, China. Combined, these arrays generated 286 MWh of clean power in 2021. > Utility green procurement programs: Direct purchase of renewable energy from a utility provider. > Virtual Power Purchase Agreements: Financial contracts with external solar, wind, and other renewable energy generating projects reduce our Scope 2 emissions inventory by delivering clean power to the grid. Each Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) provided by project owners represents the environmental benefits of 1MWh of electricity generated from renewable sources. In 2021, Applied used over 245,000 MWh of green power from a combination of these sourcing strategies, representing 80% of our total U.S. and 57% of our total global electricity needs for the year. We continue to evaluate further renewable energy projects and in 2021 began partnering with sustainability consultant 3Degrees to define a roadmap for expanding our renewable electricity supply globally and reaching our 2030 100% renewable electricity goal.
