AT&T is one of the largest corporate buyers of renewable energy in the country, and is committed to being carbon neutral across its entire global operations by 2035. This new agreement marks AT&T’s next step into community solar, which will further the company’s efforts to meet its sustainability goals and save on energy costs while also supporting NY’s renewable energy initiatives and helping provide accessible renewable energy programs to local communities. AT&T’s subscription to these five projects is projected to offset approximately 61% of annual energy use.

“These projects offer a socially conscious and innovative way for large corporations like AT&T to reduce their carbon footprint while making a positive impact in the communities where they operate,” said Sarah Moon, Senior Director of Community Solar at DSD. “By continuing to support community solar programs, we’re able to help create cost-effective solutions that benefit big corporations and residents alike, providing clean, affordable energy to local communities.”
