Lowe’s Targets Net Zero Emissions with Solar Panels at 174 Locations

In line with its goal to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, Lowe’s announced rooftop solar panel installations at 174 locations nationwide. The panels will provide approximately 90 percent of the energy for each location.

Through partnerships with DSD Renewables (DSD), Greenskies Clean Focus and Infiniti Energy, installations span California, Illinois, and New Jersey. These investments will help Lowe’s reduce its operational emissions and reach its goal of having its operations powered with 50 percent renewable energy by 2030.

“At Lowe’s, we are focused on operating responsibly and reducing our impact on the environment,” said Chris Cassell, Lowe’s vice president of corporate sustainability. “Investing in renewable energy lowers operating costs and is an important step in reducing emissions associated with our stores and distribution centers. This initial rooftop solar portfolio is one example of the collaboration we seek with partners as we work toward our long-term and interim net-zero goals.”
