Expanding Communities' Access to Solar Energy
To progress toward its long-term goal of 100% renewable energy usage at its U.S. restaurants, Chipotle has entered into an agreement with Nexamp, the nation's largest community solar provider, to purchase renewable energy bill credits to support the construction and operation of 15 new community solar farms with a generation capacity of 75 megawatts in Illinois, New York, Maryland and Maine, bringing Chipotle's support of 90 megawatts of new capacity in these regions. Under the agreement, Chipotle is subscribed to credits associated with 20 megawatts from the portfolio of projects while Nexamp states the remaining 55 megawatts will provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings to approximately 9,000 local families, non-profits and other businesses as a result of financial incentives provided by local utilities to use the renewable energy. Construction is underway and Nexamp expects the sites to be operating later this year.
