Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE: WMT) will purchase solar power from BP Solar, SunEdison LLC, and PowerLight for 22 Wal-Mart stores, Sam’s Clubs and a distribution center in Hawaii and California.
The world’s largest retailer, which has a goal of using 100% renewable energy, said the pilot solar project would provide up to 30% of each store’s energy.
“Pilot project stores are expected to achieve savings over their current utility rates immediately – as soon as the first day of operation,” said David Ozment, director of energy for Wal-Mart.
SunEdison will provide four solar power systems in Hawaii and four in California, while PowerLight and BP Solar will each supply seven systems in California.
