According to Correlate, a technology-enabled energy optimization and clean energy solutions provider, the project will be one of the largest behind-the-meter solar installations in the U.S.

Stored energy solutions provider EnerSys has selected Correlate Infrastructure Partners to install a solar project totaling 3.8 MW at its global headquarters in Pennsylvania.

According to Correlate, a technology-enabled energy optimization and clean energy solutions provider, the project will be one of the largest behind-the-meter solar installations in the U.S. It will also mark a significant step forward in the clean energy transition for corporate infrastructure, the company adds.

“Sustainability at EnerSys expands far beyond the benefits and impacts of our products,” EnerSys’ President and Chief Executive Officer David M. Shaffer said. “It’s central to how we manage our own operations and this project is a big step in getting us closer to our goals in minimizing our carbon footprint.”

The solar project also supports Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s goal of bringing green energy power usage to at least 40% in order to obtain a 26% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions statewide by 2025 from 2005 levels.

“This partnership and project bring together a decade of our team’s vision, whereby we are both supporting a corporate renewables program and helping decarbonize the supply chain with a global market leader,” said Todd Michaels, Chief Executive Officer of Correlate. "We're proud to be working with EnerSys to further advance solar development in the Commonwealth and to support their commitment to long-term sustainability as an industry leader."
