The commitment applies to stores, distribution centers and offices.<\/p>\n<p>The first milestone the company has set is to generate 60 percent of its energy through renewable sources by 2025. To do so, Target is investing in solar and wind projects around the country. The retailer estimates it currently uses roughly 22 percent renewable energy.<\/p>\n<h2>Expanding renewable fleet<\/h2>\n<p>Most recently, the company signed power purchase agreements with Leeward Renewable Energy for the 80-megawatt Lone Tree Wind Project in Illinois\u2014a project slated for completion in 2020\u2014and with Engie for Sand Fork Solar in Texas, a facility with total capacity of 200 megawatts, 89MW of which will be provided to Target upon completion in 2021. Combined, these two developments are estimated to generate approximately 556,000 megawatt-hours of renewable energy, which is enough to power 280 Target stores annually.<\/p>\n<p>SEIA\u2019s Solar Means Business 2017\u2014a report that observed corporate customers that pledged to transition to 100 percent renewable energy\u2014had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/corporate-america-embraces-solar-power\/\">Target on the top spot<\/a> in its rankings based on installed capacity. Since then, the company has made additional upgrades to its facilities, including the installation of rooftop solar panels at 500 of its locations by 2020 and the addition of electric vehicle charging stations at more than 100 sites across more than 20 states. Furthermore, the company has added LED lights across nearly all its fleet of stores\u2014more than 1,800 stores\u2014which has reduced energy usage by 10 percent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The retailer currently uses roughly 22 percent renewable energy and has set to generate 60 percent of its energy through green sources by 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":237,"featured_media":1004331890,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21783,23891,21742,21749,21786],"tags":[35875,34545,40826],"class_list":["post-1004331887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investment","category-national","category-latest","category-retail","category-sustainability","tag-solar-power","tag-target-corporation","tag-wind-power"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
