Boeing has entered a partnership with South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCE&G) to provide 100% renewable energy at the production site for the Boeing 787 airplane.
Airplane makers, Boeing, have decided to go green with 100% renewable energy!
20% of this energy will be generated from thin-film solar laminate panels owned, installed and maintained by SCE&G.
The installation will be located on the roof of the facility and it’ll be the sixth largest of its kind in the United States.
Boeing 787 will be designed to consume less fuel and produce fewer emissions.
The solar installation will provide up to 2.6 megawatts of electrical power for the facility, enough to light up 250 average homes.
The site will also have point-of-use containers as well as recycling centers.
