On March 7, the Cincinnati-based financial institution announced that it had signed a power purchase agreement that will enable construction of an 80-megawatt solar project in Hertford County, N.C. SunEnergy1 of Mooresville, N.C., will design, build and operate the $200 million project, dubbed the Hertford County Aulander Holloman solar facility.<\/p>\n<p>CPE recently spoke with Scott Hassell, vice president &amp; director of sustainability for Fifth Third, about the bank&#8217;s energy strategy and its larger significance for the renewable energy movement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the significance of being the first Fortune 500 company to make the commitment to procuring renewable energy exclusively through solar power? What message does this send to your fellow Fortune 500 members, as well as to other financial institutions?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hassell:<\/strong> We don\u2019t think the significance can be overstated. We want to be an environmental sustainability leader, and by being the first to do this through a single project and with solar, we are leading on the issue of 100 percent renewable solar power. We think the contract we signed with SunEnergy1 proves that 100 percent renewable power is achievable and attainable.<\/p>\n<p>We are meeting our 100 percent renewable energy goal four years earlier than we set with a transaction that we believe will add to our earnings. We are enabling investment in one of our key market states and helping to employ approximately 1,000 people. With this one deal, we are being good corporate citizens and delivering value to our shareholders, customers and employees as well as our planet.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you give us a little background about the Bank\u2019s participation in the renewable energy movement, as both a capital source and as an energy customer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hassell:<\/strong> Since 2010, Fifth Third has purchased renewable energy credits (RECs), which is a way to support existing renewable energy projects and get credit for using renewable power. Since 2012, we have purchased 30 percent RECs, or put another way, 30 percent of our total expected energy use in a year.\u00a0 That was all positive, but what we\u2019ve wanted to do for years is to make a new renewable project happen, and we began investigating the possibility in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, we began to feel like we could really do it in a cost-effective way and began working with Renewable Choice Energy (now Schneider Electric) to learn about PPA opportunities. In 2017, we issued a request for proposals (RFPs) to 39 renewable energy developers. At the same time, we also set and publicly announced five bold goals for sustainability\u2014one of which was to achieve 100 percent renewable power by 2022. After a rigorous selection process, we selected SunEnergy1\u2019s Aulander Holloman Solar project based on its location within our footprint and its expected economics, timing and risk profile.<\/p>\n<p>Fifth Third Bank is also a big lender to solar companies. Since we entered the solar space, we have financed more than $2 billion in solar transactions.\u00a0 This corresponds to more than 2,000 megawatts of projects.\u00a0 This projects and the companies involved span 15-plus states.\u00a0 We have provided construction project financing, construction revolvers, lines of credit, and permanent\/long-term project finance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fifth Third recently announced that it has joined both RE100, a collaborative led by The Climate Group in partnership with the Carbon Disclosure Project, and the Business Renewables Center, which is affiliated with the Rocky Mountain Institute. What\u2019s behind that decision?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hassell:\u00a0<\/strong>These are international environmental leadership organizations that are committed to 100 percent renewable energy and helping businesses to achieve that goal. We decided to join the organizations to collaborate with them on the best ways to position our announcement and to engage with them on opportunities to help other companies follow our lead. Both organizations are experts in the field and offer us third-party credibility on our method of reaching 100 percent renewable power.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Hertford County project will enable the Bank to meet its renewable goal four years early. What went into the decision to advance the schedule?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hassell:\u00a0<\/strong>We wanted to be a part of bringing a complete project online and SunEnergy1\u2019s project enabled us to do that.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t set out to advance the schedule, but to participate in a deal that would get us to 100 percent renewable power by 2022. After our RFP process and due diligence, this deal emerged as the best one to accomplish that. The timetable was obviously one that appealed to us.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you describe the extent of the Fifth Third footprint that will be served by the Hertford County Aulander Holloman facility? For instance, about how many retail branches will be involved, and what\u2019s the approximate total square footage?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hassell:\u00a0<\/strong>This one project will generate as much power as we use in a year, and we will buy it all.\u00a0 In 2017, Fifth Third had more than 10 million square feet of real estate, including 1,154 banking centers in 10 states (Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, West Virginia and Florida).\u00a0 Through this project, we will buy power equivalent to the electricity use at all of these facilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Considering that Fifth Third\u2019s retail portfolio spans 10 states and nearly 1,200 locations, what are the logistics of supplying your properties with solar energy? How will the transmission work in practice?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hassell:\u00a0<\/strong>The beauty of the contract we have signed\u2014a virtual power purchase agreement or VPPA\u2014is that we will continue to consume electricity as we always have.\u00a0 Through this contract with SunEnergy1, Fifth Third is buying the power and the Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) generated by this facility for a fixed price per unit of power ($\/MWh).\u00a0 Using our contract, SunEnergy1 will get loans and build the project.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When the project begins generating power, the power will be sold into the regional electricity grid at the floating price.\u00a0 Every month, Fifth Third and SunEnergy1 will financially settle the difference between the fixed price guaranteed by Fifth Third and the floating price obtained in the regional electricity market.\u00a0 By guaranteeing to purchase all of the power and retaining all of the RECs from the project, Fifth Third is not only purchasing 100% renewable power, but we have directly led to the construction of this new 80 MW solar project.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1004210398\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/03\/Summit-Farms-2_880x660-e1521129086919.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1004210398\" data-attachment-id=\"1004210398\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/inside-fifth-thirds-all-solar-strategy\/dcim100mediadji_0005-jpg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/03\/Summit-Farms-2_880x660-e1521129086919.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"798,620\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FC300X&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;DCIM100MEDIADJI_0005.JPG&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1501607175&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.61&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.000717&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;DCIM100MEDIADJI_0005.JPG&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DCIM100MEDIADJI_0005.JPG\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;DCIM100MEDIADJI_0005.JPG&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/03\/Summit-Farms-2_880x660-e1521129086919.jpg?w=798\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1004210398 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/03\/Summit-Farms-2_880x660-e1521129086919.jpg\" alt=\"DCIM100MEDIADJI_0005.JPG\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/03\/Summit-Farms-2_880x660-e1521129086919.jpg 798w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/03\/Summit-Farms-2_880x660-e1521129086919.jpg?resize=300,233 300w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/03\/Summit-Farms-2_880x660-e1521129086919.jpg?resize=768,597 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1004210398\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Summit Farms, a solar power facility developed by SunEnergy1 in Moyock, N.C.

The company has pioneered large-scale solar power on the East Coast for nearly a decade, developing numerous large-scale solar projects for corporate offtakers. \u00a0CEO Kenny Habul\u2019s commitment to helping us get to 100% this year with the Aulandar Holloman project made this a unique opportunity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the value of bringing in a consultant like Schneider Electric to assist in the process?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hassell:\u00a0<\/strong>Schneider Electric was an integral partner in each step of the process. They brought specialized expertise and capabilities that helped our many internal partners learn about power purchase agreements, issue an RFP, evaluate the results, select a partner, and negotiate an agreement. A core team within the bank worked closely with Schneider and coordinated with many other internal stakeholders to make this project happen.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>At this early stage, are you able to estimate the financial impact of the PPA? Will the net effect be to reduce the Bank\u2019s overall energy expenditures, or will there be a premium for going solar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hassell:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>We expect it to add to earnings based on the financial due diligence we did. In terms of our electricity costs, we have created a fixed price for energy generation costs and have created a hedge so to speak. It will reduce volatility in our utility expenses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you offer any other suggestions for best practices in pursuing a large-scale renewable power purchase agreement?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hassell:\u00a0<\/strong>A great way for a company or organization to get started is to consult the resources of the Business Renewables Center or a buyer\u2019s advisor like Schneider Electric\u2019s Renewables &amp; Cleantech team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott Hassell of Fifth Third Bank discusses a landmark decision to procure the company&#8217;s entire renewable power supply from a single solar facility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":445,"featured_media":1004210390,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23891,21785,21786],"tags":[39317,39318],"class_list":["post-1004210372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national","category-property-management","category-sustainability","tag-fifth-third-bank","tag-rocky-mountain-institute"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
