Clearway Energy Group (\u201cClearway\u201d) and OSF HealthCare announced today that the health care provider has subscribed to 4.6 megawatts (MW) of Clearway\u2019s community solar projects in Illinois. Once operational, OSF HealthCare\u2019s subscription will be equivalent to eliminating the annual carbon emissions associated with over 1,000 cars from the road each year, helping the healthcare ministry move toward its sustainability goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to provide clean, local power to OSF HealthCare, whose model of care and service to community goes hand in hand with our mission to do good by our people and our planet,\u201d said Valerie Wooley, Vice President of Origination at Clearway Energy Group. \u201cIn states like Illinois with groundbreaking programs, community solar enables families, businesses, and medical institutions like OSF HealthCare to access and support cost-saving and carbon-free local energy. We\u2019re encouraged by the extraordinary demand for renewable energy and proud that partnerships like this will help Illinois reach its climate goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe entry of OSF HealthCare into a renewable energy purchasing agreement with Clearway is a significant achievement that puts our commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability into action,\u201d said Michael Keefe, Manager, Energy and Sustainability, OSF HealthCare. \u201cPurchasing Illinois Community Solar energy is layered with benefits: it reduces OSF utility costs, it benefits rural communities where many of our medical facilities are located, it supports the state of Illinois\u2019 move to carbon-free energy, and it is emblematic of OSF\u2019s ongoing innovation and leadership in healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n

OSF HealthCare\u2019s long-term commitment will support the development and construction of three Clearway community solar projects in Ameren territory, along with additional subscriptions to several of Clearway\u2019s ComEd projects. The projects are supported by the Illinois Shines Community Solar Program, which was designed as part of the Future Energy Jobs Act. Clearway\u2019s community solar portfolio in Illinois will create more than 70 jobs during construction as well as permanent positions once operating and represents a $160 million investment in the state.<\/p>\n

Clearway is the largest community solar provider in the U.S. This news comes on the heels of an earlier announcement that construction began on Clearway\u2019s Illinois community solar portfolio, which includes projects that will serve OSF HealthCare.<\/p>\n

Community solar allows customers to subscribe to a local solar project, receive credits on their utility bill and reduce their overall electricity costs. Commercial, industrial, municipal, and residential community solar subscribers in the ComEd and Ameren utility service territories will receive bill credits directly onto their utility bills.<\/p>\n

Community solar will support Illinois\u2019 goal of supplying 25% of overall electric sales with cost-effective renewable energy resources by 2025.<\/p>\n
