REI and Intuit join forces to launch massive solar farm: 'We're proud to help usher in new-to-the-world solar energy'
Outdoor wear specialist REI and financial tech platform Intuit have joined forces with Clearloop to launch a massive solar farm in Tennessee.
Since the project launched in May, the plant has already produced over 1,500 megawatts of energy and prevented over 1.8 million pounds of carbon pollution from entering the atmosphere, according to a tracker on Clearloop's website. Additionally, Intuit will donate 1600 renewable energy certificates every year for the next 40 years (totaling 64,000 certificates) to schools in Jefferson County and Hamblen County, which will make them some of the first schools powered by renewable energy in both Tennessee and the entire southeast region of the United States, according to Clearloop's release. We're proud to help usher in new-to-the-world solar energy in the Tennessee Valley," said Matt Thurston, REI's divisional vice president of sustainability.
