SEIA’s 2024 #SolarMeansBiz report shows that U.S. businesses have installed ~40 GW of solar, as more companies recognize the cost-saving and reliability benefits of solar and storage. As of today: ??Meta has the most #solar installed with 5.2 GWs ??Google has the most #storage capacity with 936 MWhs ??Amazon has a nation-leading 13.6 GW of new solar procurements under contract These rankings show just how important electricity costs are to America’s biggest companies.

Through the joint efforts of Mayor Katjana Ballantyne and ECA Solar, the City of Somerville is making bold strides in its decarbonization journey. Reflecting on the transformation of the Industri-Plex Superfund Site, Mayor Ballantyne shared: "The solar array was built on land that was designated as a wasteland—a Superfund site—with limited options for development and growth. But passionate and forward-thinking people saw an opportunity and developed one of the largest local, zero-carbon energy generation sites in the Boston area. Today, that array provides nearly one-third of the electricity used to run Somerville's municipal and school operations." Thank you, Mayor Ballantyne, for your leadership in making Somerville a pioneer in clean energy and environmental restoration. ??
