(Reuters) – No.1 U.S. automaker General Motors Co (NYSE:) said on Thursday it plans to have its sites in the United States run on renewable energy by 2025, five years ahead of its original goal.

The company said that it is working with PJM Interconnection, the U.S. power grid operator, and TimberRock energy firm to monitor carbon emissions from its U.S. facilities.

GM intends to increase that effort in tracking emissions from electric cars it sells eventually, according to the company.

In June, GM announced plans to increase global electric vehicle spending to $35 billion. This is an increase of $27 billion to 2025.

Detroit’s automaker, GM in 2019, was one of many that supported the Trump administration’s attempt to prevent California from setting its own vehicle fuel-efficiency standards or emission regulations.

GM later withdrew https://www.reuters.com/article/us-autos-emissions-gm-idUSKBN2832HF its support for the lawsuit as it sought to work with President Joe Biden.
