| 沃達豐將為歐洲網絡提供使用100%的可再生能源 |
| （時間:2020-8-17 8:49:48） |
據能源全球8月10日消息稱，沃達豐最近宣布，到2021年7月，其歐洲網絡將100%使用可再生能源，這比原計劃提前了4年。此舉將影響歐洲的11個市場，意味著該公司的電力將完全來自風能、太陽能或水力發電。
這家電信巨頭最初承諾在2025年前建成“綠色千兆網絡”，并承諾到2030年幫助其商業客戶減少3.5億噸的碳排放。
沃達豐集團首席執行官尼克·雷德（Nick Read）表示：“沃達豐比以往任何時候都更需要與世界各地的數百萬人建立聯系。隨著社會的重建和從COVID-19危機中恢復，我們有機會可持續地重塑我們的未來，以確保復蘇不會以破壞環境為代價。
“我們加速在歐洲電網上使用100%可再生電力，這將改變我們為技術提供動力的方式–減少我們對化石燃料的依賴，幫助我們的客戶更有效地管理他們的資源，減少他們的碳排放，同時幫助創造一個更健康的地球。”
去年，這家全球電信公司承諾購買所有可再生能源發電，到2025年將其對環境的影響減半，并對全部網絡廢物進行再利用、轉售或回收。

Vodafone to run European network on 100% renewable electricity
Vodafone recently announced that it will be running its European network on 100% renewable electricity by July 2021 – four years earlier than planned. The move, which will affect 11 markets across Europe, means that the company’s power will come solely from wind, solar or hydro sources.
The telecoms giant, which had originally pledged to have a ‘Green Gigabit Net’ by 2025, has also committed to helping its business customers reduce their carbon emissions by 350 million t by 2030.
Nick Read, Chief Executive Officer, Vodafone Group, said: “More than ever, Vodafone is relied upon to connect millions of people around the world. As society rebuilds and recovers from the COVID-19 crisis, we have an opportunity to reshape our future sustainably to ensure that recovery does not come at a cost to the environment.
“Our accelerated shift to 100% renewable electricity on our European networks will change the way we power our technology for good – reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, helping our customers manage their resources more effectively and reduce their carbon emissions, while helping to create a healthier planet for everyone.”
Last year, the global telecoms company committed to purchasing all electricity from renewable sources and halving its environmental footprint by 2025, as well as reusing, reselling or recycling 100% of its network waste.
