According to the agreement, Delta GreenTech China (Wuhu) purchased a total of 5.8 million kWh of green power from September to December this year, of which 1.54 million and 1.32 million kWh of green power were actually used in September and October, respectively. According to the relevant regulations in the "Manual of Green Power Certificate Trading" of the Anhui Power Trading Center, Delta GreenTech China (Wuhu) will receive the Green Power Consumption Certificate issued by the Beijing Power Trading Center and the Green Power Certificate issued by the National Renewable Energy Information Management Center after completing the green power trading. Delta is taking practical actions in response to the "peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality" goals and is steadily moving towards achieving 100% renewable electricity and carbon neutrality for all global grids by 2030.Delta GreenTech China (Wuhu) is taking practical actions in response to the "30·60 peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality goals through the development strategies including self-built solar power systems and the purchase of green power.

Zhiping Wang, the Chairman of Delta's Mainland China Sustainable Development Committee said that, in practical response to the "30·60 peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality goals", the operating grids of Delta China continue to expand the proportion of renewable energy use.
