WAYNESBORO, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ingevity Corporation (NYSE: NGVT) is hosting a photovoltaic solar panel
system on approximately five acres of its land adjacent to the company’s
“honeycomb” scrubber manufacturing plant in Waynesboro, Georgia. The
company is participating in Georgia Power’s Commercial & Industrial
Renewable Energy Development Initiative (C&I REDI), joining other
Georgia Power customers in contributing more than 177 megawatts of
renewable energy resources.
“As we continue to apply the tenets of sustainability to our business
strategy, we remain committed to working with our energy suppliers and
other partners to find ways to generate savings through the use of
renewable energy,” said Michael Wilson, Ingevity’s president and CEO.
The solar array was installed earlier this year by Radiance Development
RCS II, LLC, Atlanta, Georgia. The new system consists of approximately
3,000 solar modules, and will produce approximately 1.9 million kilowatt
hours of energy in its first year of operation, offsetting the
equivalent of approximately 3 million pounds of carbon dioxide on an
annual basis. Radiance will continue to operate the system.
This is Ingevity’s second solar system installed at a manufacturing
facility; the first was constructed at the company’s North Charleston,
South Carolina, plant in early 2018.
