Case Study: Albany International cuts costs and emissions with Watershed

How Albany International is saving money with clean power

Albany International, a 130-year-old global materials science and manufacturing company, needed a scalable clean energy strategy to reduce emissions across more than 30 energy-intensive sites. Facing customer and regulatory pressure, fragmented local solar proposals, and rising financial risk, the company turned to Watershed and its Watershed platform to help create a more unified approach.

Watershed helped Albany International structure a VPPA, centralize site data, and build an investment-ready onsite solar roadmap. The company locked in fixed clean power pricing for five years, covered nearly 50% of its Scope 2 emissions target, and launched multiple solar RFPs. With Watershed, Albany International also embedded emissions goals into procurement and product decisions, cutting costs while strengthening its long-term climate strategy.
