USG Corporation has entered into a Solar Energy Power Purchase and Sale Agreement with Green Light Plaster City Solar 1 LLC, a subsidiary of Green Light Energy Corp, to install a solar photovoltaic plant at USG’s Plaster City manufacturing plant in California.
The one megawatt photovoltaic power plant will be installed along with local engineering firm ZGlobal, Inc. (Imperial, California, U.S.), and will provide USG with predictable cost for the portion of electricity supplied by the PV system for the next 20 years.
“We are always looking for opportunities for our plants to use solar energy, and it made a lot of sense to move forward with this renewable energy investment at our manufacturing plant in Plaster City,” said Al Zucco, senior director, Energy and Sustainability, USG.
“This is an exciting project that demonstrates USG’s environmental stewardship and commitment to maintain environmentally-friendly operations.”
