Through Sustainability Roundtable’s Net Zero Consortium for Buyers (NZCB), Akamai Technologies, Teradyne and Wayfair have signed an aggregated virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) with BayWa r.e. Americas.
This agreement covers the renewable energy credits produced by the 135 MW Prairie Solar project in Champaign County, Ill., which is being developed by the BayWa r.e. Americas group and is expected to achieve commercial operation at the end of next year.
By aggregating their demand, the companies overcome the challenge of modest energy loads that may typically hinder independent procurement of utility-scale renewable energy.
Akamai plans to purchase a 30 MW portion of the project.
“Akamai has led the way in innovative renewable energy projects since 2018, when we were a part of the United States’ first corporate aggregated VPPA – a game-changing approach for smaller renewable energy buyers,” says Akamai’s Mike Mattera.
“Today we are proud to continue that legacy by participating in this solar aggregation located in a very carbon intensive grid.”
Teradyne is set to purchase a 20 MW portion of Prairie Solar, with Wayfair also expected to purchase a 20 MW portion of the project.
The NZCB separately advised another entity on a VPPA contract for a 50 MW portion of the Prairie Solar project.
Prairie Solar is set to support the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) region of Illinois.

This concept has an enormous level of popularity in the Republican party. Exactly why?
What’s certain is that property taxes fund our schools, and without them, the common American would be even more ignorant than he is today, if that’s believable.
Now, which party benefits from poor education and a lack of the capacity for critical thinking?

Sending Top-Level Criminals to Prison Makes Sense, Unless They’re Americans, of Course
All Americans should know that most other countries act fast and hard against top-ranking people who act corruptly.
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is currently serving a 27-year prison sentence for a coup plot and attempting to overthrow democracy.
In 2008, when rich Icelanders had committed financial crimes that led to their country’s economic collapse, do you know what happened to them? Were they re-elected and left to loot their treasury? No, they were sent to prison.
Honest and free nations don’t encourage criminality. They send felons to prison. It’s not that hard, nor is it in any way controversial.
Sending Top-Level Criminals to Prison Makes Sense, Unless They’re Americans, of Course
One of the most remarkable characteristics of Donald Trump is his shamelessness. No matter how many lies he gets caught in, he’s always willing to tell one more–one that’s even more outrageous.
One would think that he and his supporters would eventually reach a limit, but the answer is clearly that such a limit does not exist.
