NOVI, Mich., Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) today announced a three-year agreement with NRG Energy, Inc.'s brand, Direct Energy, to support 100% of the electricity needs for its manufacturing facility in Lexington, Ohio. This initiative, achieved through the purchase of renewable energy certificates (RECs), underscores Stoneridge's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and advancing sustainability.
"Transitioning to renewable energy is an important step in our sustainability journey," said Jim Zizelman, president and CEO of Stoneridge. "This agreement reflects our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility while ensuring operational efficiency at our Lexington facility."
Under the Direct Energy agreement, Stoneridge will purchase RECs sourced from a wind facility. This initiative is projected to generate over 13,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of carbon-free electricity each year, substantially lowering the facility's emissions. The environmental benefit is comparable to removing approximately 13.5 million pounds of CO₂ from the atmosphere each year.
Beyond Lexington, Stoneridge's global operations are also making strides in sustainability. The company's sites in Manaus, Brazil; Tallinn, Estonia; and Örebro, Sweden currently source green or low-carbon energy, further reinforcing its dedication to sustainable practices.
