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.

We’ve all heard ideas like the one being expressed here, though this one sounds extreme. Jail sentence? Education is exclusively an exercise in pounding in bad habits?
What’s the outcome for students in the very worst of our schools that make no attempt whatsoever to help its pupils learn to think critically? Well, their kids learn to:
- Read and write
- Do math, at least through algebra
- Understand some level of history and geography
- Make friends and get along with others
- Establish independence from the parents
- Gain the qualifications for employment
What’s the alternative? Illiteracy? Social isolation? Child labor? Poverty? Neurotic sloth? Being a burden on society?
Is it a coincidence that the countries with the best educated children are the happiest, sanest and most productive nations on the planet?
If you’re a competent woman working at the highest echelon in the U.S. government, better start packing your bags.
Today we had another “assassination attempt.”
Is it the fourth or the fifth? I lost track after his ear grew back.
Eventually, after perhaps 20 or 30, even the most dimwitted American will recognize that he’s been played.
Trump is a man of God like I’m a bald eagle.
How Much Further Does the Trust of the American People Extend?
