Trials to test new ideas for scalable energy savings efforts and programs. Two of these trial concepts have moved to broader implementation and 18 are still active in the trial phase. Between 2015 and 2022, we implemented nearly 161,000 energy efficiency projects, such as the ongoing integration of our EBMS across our footprint and decommissioning obsolete portions of our network operations—resulting in 7,053,000 MWh of annual energy savings and annualized energy cost savings of approximately $663 million. Our large-scale renewable energy projects delivered more than 2.8 million renewable energy credits to help offset our greenhouse gas emissions.As part of this total, more than $61 million of this investment pertained to real estate decommissioning projects (consolidating and eliminating facility square footage); more than $42 million was invested in network projects, including decommissioning, process optimization and smart controls initiatives; more than $14 million was invested to upgrade and repair building infrastructure and systems.Through our founding membership in the Climate Leadership Council (CLC), we support the CLC’s plan that envisions a rising fee on carbon emissions, rebating revenues as dividends to all Americans, a border-adjustment mechanism and regulatory simplification. The CLC works to promote a carbon dividends plan as a bipartisan, market-based solution to help reduce U.S. emissions.Physical RisksRisk type: AcuteAcute Physical Increases in the Severity and Frequency of Extreme Weather EventsDescription: Extreme weather events precipitated by long-term climate change have the potential to directly damage network facilities or disrupt our ability to build and maintain portions of our network and could potentially disrupt suppliers’ ability to provide products and services required to provide reliable network coverage. Extreme weather events such as the highly active tropical storm season along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts and, and the increasing frequency and severity of wildfires across the Western U.S., have the potential to directly damage
