Entire Dell Global Headquarters Campus now powered by green energy

Dell’s latest move shows us how just religiously they follow their carbon-neutrality commitment. In case you haven’t heard, Dell’s entire Global Headquarters Campus, a 2.1 million square-foot expanse, is now running off wind-power and converted gas energy from a landfill. This is in cooperation with two companies, namely Waste Management and TXU Energy.

President at Dell Americas, Paul Bell, had this to say about Dell’s remarkable switch from conventional power sources to green power: “Powering an entire campus with green power… is an important step in becoming the greenest technology company on the planet and the right thing to do for our shared earth.” Following it up of course with an answer to a question in everyone’s mind, “How much money does Dell save with this move?” And Bell’s answer to that question is this: “At the same time we’re using green technology to drive operating expense down.” And how low down have they driven their operating expense, you ask? About $2 million annually is the projected amount to be saved in operating costs in Dell’s central Texas campus, where they are already implementing this scheme for quite some time now.
