Thank you to RMI for recently highlighting our transformative Double Black Diamond Solar project in #Illinois. We hope RMI’s analysis creates a roadmap for other cities across the world that are actively working to source their electricity needs from renewable energy. #renewableenergy #solar
The City of Chicago will power 100% of its municipal operations with renewable energy by 2025, thanks in large part to a deal with one of the largest solar farms in Illinois. Beyond reducing climate pollution, other benefits include: 👷 Investing in Chicago’s workforce development and providing construction jobs 💸 More tax revenue for central Illinois counties 🇺🇸 Supporting domestic supply chains and the US clean energy economy 💡 Inspiring other public and private energy buyers in the region to follow in the City’s footsteps RMI provided technical assistance as part of the American Cities Climate Challenge: https://bit.ly/3XW98Zt #Chicago #Illinois
