2030 is near enough that the work has to start now, and far enough that we can move a whole estate of sites without cutting corners. It's a date we can plan backward from, site by site, rather than a round number chosen because it sounded good. Some sites will get there years early, on grids that already run clean. Others depend on generation we still have to build. The 2030 line is the point by which every one of them is done.

It means the electricity a site runs on was generated without burning coal, oil or gas. We're talking about the power itself, traced back to where it's made, not an offset bought elsewhere to cancel out dirty power on paper. Where we buy from the grid, that means a carbon-free supply we can point to. Where we generate our own, it means the site makes clean power on the spot.

This commitment is about our own operations, the sites where Calyraen people work and where our systems run. It's the part we control directly, so it's the part we put a firm date on. The energy that goes into the machines we build, and the power they draw once they're on your desk, is a separate piece of work with its own commitments. We keep those honest on their own terms rather than folding them in to flatter this number.
