Constellation CEO Jim McHugh said: “Corporations are eager to do their part to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to cleaner forms of energy, and Constellation is committed to providing clean energy solutions that help them meet their goals.
“This major CORe agreement helps to remove the barriers that stand between companies and their sustainability goals, for the sake of good business – and the benefit of our environment.”
The clients will purchase renewable power and project-specific renewable energy certificates (RECs) from a new solar plant, called Skipjack solar centre, which will commence operations in 2021.
The solar facility will be developed at Charles City County, Virginia, and will be built by sPower, an AES and AIMCO Company.
