Clinton Presidential Center Goes Solar, Saving Millions and Cutting Emissions
The Clinton Presidential Center has unveiled a significant solar project in partnership with Enfra. The initiative, announced at the 20th Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting, will offset all carbon emissions from the center and reduce its energy consumption by 48%.
The project, operated by CPS Energy, includes a 5 MW solar array that will meet 100% of the Clinton Presidential Library's energy needs. This will result in substantial savings for the Clinton Foundation, with an estimated $488,000 per year in utility expenses and a total of $26.6 million over 30 years.
In addition to the Clinton Presidential Center, the City of Little Rock is also embracing solar power. It is building a 4.9 MW solar array at the Port of Little Rock, set to power about 70% of city operations. This marks a significant step towards creating a new sustainable energy district in Little Rock, a collaboration between the Clinton Foundation and the city.
The solar project at the Clinton Presidential Center, facilitated by Enfra, is expected to deliver over $30 million in energy infrastructure upgrades. This initiative builds on the Clinton Foundation's previous work, including the first solar installation in St. Lucia in 2018. The foundation continues to commit to sustainable energy solutions, with this project being a notable addition to its portfolio.
