Quanta Services, Inc. announced it increased the installation of wind and solar projects in 2021 through its acquisition of Blattner Holding Company and its operating subsidiaries.
The merger gave Quanta a renewable energy infrastructure solutions platform. During 2021, Blattner completed projects that installed 6,857 MW of wind and solar generating capacity and battery storage projects, which is estimated to avoid approximately 11.9 m tons of CO2 emissions.
Quanta Services also built significant environmental reporting capacity, enabling the collection of CO2 emissions data across 70,000+ vehicle assets and 1,000+ owned and leased properties and reduced CO2 intensity measured from its vehicle fleet by approximately 10.5% since 2019.
The specialized contracting services company that provides comprehensive infrastructure solutions for the utility, renewable energy, communications, pipeline and energy industries also completed its first sustainability assessment to identify and prioritize sustainability topics that are important to Quanta’s business and stakeholders and publish its first consolidated set of sustainability metrics, including Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
Details were provided in its 2021 Sustainability Report.
“I’m proud of the significant progress we have made on our sustainability initiatives over the past several years and the increased information and transparency we are able to provide in our 2021 report regarding our sustainability performance,” said Duke Austin, Quanta’s President and CEO in a statement. “Quanta’s comprehensive infrastructure solutions position us to play a leading role in the transition towards a lower-carbon economy and allow us to support our customers’ efforts to improve energy system resiliency and reliability and enable technologies that enhance our quality of life. These initiatives are estimated by industry sources to require hundreds of billions of dollars of investment in the next several decades, with a significant portion expected to be invested in renewable energy generation, electric transmission and distribution systems, electric vehicle charging and other forms of clean power infrastructure.”
