Producing clean water is energy intensive and the ability to utilize clean energy is immensely beneficial. That’s why we’re delighted to announce our latest solar project. EDF Renewables and Standard Solar have been wonderful partners for us as we decarbonize our operations and begin to reap the benefits of our solar + storage installations.
Incorporating solar energy is cost-effective and helps the environment while reducing energy expenses and funneling savings to resources that directly impact student success.
Clean energy is an essential part of our district-wide sustainability efforts. Our partnership with Standard Solar will help reduce our carbon footprint while saving the district millions of dollars over the 25-year agreement.
This project represents the culmination of a decade-long vision to build out rooftop solar across the Caltech campus. Our campus in Pasadena now hosts 2 megawatts of onsite solar capacity, furthering our efforts towards carbon reduction and eventually carbon neutrality.
This series of projects, slated to generate 84 MW of solar energy, will significantly contribute to Illinois’ goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reaching 100% renewables by 2050.
This 7.2 MW system for Port Newark Container Terminal (PNCT) in Newark, NJ was an ambitious leap forward around sustainability for America’s second largest port city and serves as a prime example for other cities seeking energy savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
