Mars Inc., the closely held maker of M&M’s candies and Uncle Ben’s rice, will partner with Sumitomo Corporation of Americas on a 200-megawatt wind farm in Texas.
Mars will receive all the renewable energy certificates from the 118-turbine wind farm to offset energy use at its entire U.S. operations, the McLean, Virginia-based company said in a statement. The “Mesquite Creek Wind” farm was developed by Sumitomo and BNB Renewable Energy Holdings and is scheduled to start running in the second quarter of 2015, the companies said in the statement yesterday.
