DETAILS
Solvay has agreed to buy
all the renewable energy certificates (RECs*)
for 15 years from
the largest solar farm yet to be built
in South Carolina (SC), United States,
underscoring the Group’s global sustainability commitment.
The agreement with Moffett Solar 1,
a subsidiary of Dominion Resources, Inc.
contributes to Solvay’s objective
to reduce the carbon intensity of its operations
by 40 percent by 2025.
It furthermore responds to growing customer demand
for products made using renewable energy.
The 71.4-megawatt
will be about seven times
the size of the next largest solar installation
currently in operation in South Carolina.
It is scheduled for completion by the end of 2017.
In the southeast United States, Solvay operates
nine advanced materials and chemical sites
across three states.
Solvay employs more than 6,700 people
at over 50 locations in North America as a whole.
Jean-Pierre Clamadieu,
CEO of Solvay
“This new agreement will help us reduce our CO2 intensity,
one of Solvay’s main sustainability goals.
It enables development of additional
renewable energy capacity in a region
where we have a significant presence
and allows us to better serve
key customer expectations
through sustainability,”
