In 2008, Verizon launched a pilot project that reduced the energy used by computers and monitors by installing software to remotely shut off computers not in use. Once this initiative is extended throughout the company, the projected energy savings are expected to be equivalent to the annual energy needs of 88,000 homes.
Some examples of how Verizon has begun and will continue to deliver on that commitment in 2009 are:
· Verizon Wireless signed two marketing agreements that facilitate the deployment of smart power grid projects.
· Verizon Business will continue upgrading its fiber-optic network with equipment that is four times more efficient and also reduces cooling costs. This could be equivalent to keeping as many as 16,000 cars off the road annually.
· Verizon is continuing to work on new data center designs that reduce energy consumption and associated costs.
· Verizon is continuing to install energy-efficient thin-client computers reducing the associated energy usage by 30 percent.
