Partner Profile Lockheed Martin Space Systems, a world leader in the design, production and integration of spacecraft for telecommunications, remote sensing, and space science for government and commercial customers, is purchasing green power to meet 10 percent of its Palo Alto facilities' power requirements, or 100 percent of the output of one large-scale wind turbine, on an annual basis. This is the first renewable power purchase nationally by a leading U.S. defense and aerospace contractor. Derived from clean wind and solar generation sources, Lockheed Martin's renewable power commitment (1,800 MWh annually) was the largest clean power commitment to its local utility's green power program at the time of the purchase. "The company's commitment to renewable power is an extension of a broad set of initiatives we've implemented nationally to conserve energy and minimize our impact on the environment," stated Dr. James T. Ryder, Ph.D., Lockheed Martin Director of Technology Development.
