Delta announced in March 2021 that it had joined the RE100, a
global renewable electricity initiative, and had pledged to
achieve the goal of 100% renewable electricity and carbon
neutrality by 2030 for all of Delta's global locations. We are
the first company in Taiwan's high-tech manufacturing industry
to commit to achieving the RE100 target by 2030.
Delta's operations are located across more than 30 countries on
five continents and we will focus on independent energy
conservation, self-generated power, and investment in renewable
power plants. We use power purchase agreements (PPA) for the
direct purchase of renewable electricity, green electricity
products, and unbundled energy attribute certificates (unbundled
EACs) for certain operations to meet the commitment targets.
In 2021, the total electricity consumption for Delta’s global
operations was 755,722 MWh. Delta operations across the globe
generated 31,069 MWh of electricity from solar energy, purchased
13,117 MWh of PPA and green electricity products, and purchased
373,793 MWh of unbundled Energy Attribute Certificates (mainly
iREC) accepted by RE100. As a result, renewable electricity
accounted for approximately 55% of the electricity consumption
for Delta's global operations.
