The company will receive renewable energy certificates from the solar project to reduce GHG emissions from its overall operations. L3Harris\u2019 agreement is the equivalent of eliminating about 110,000 metric tons of CO2 per year or removing 24,000 cars from the road every year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are committed to business practices that support a sustainable global environment,\u201d said William M. Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cThe renewable energy agreement is part of our broader sustainability strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and our overall environmental impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The agreement enables Lightsource bp to finance and construct the Elm Branch solar project, which is scheduled to break ground later this year in Texas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe renewable energy sector is helping businesses meet their sustainability goals while advancing our transition toward low carbon and creating meaningful economic benefits for communities around the country,\u201d said Kevin Smith, CEO of Lightsource bp for the Americas. \u201cThis agreement with L3Harris is supporting development of new solar energy infrastructure in Texas that will provide a clean and economic source of electric power while creating hundreds of jobs in the greater Dallas Fort Worth area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>L3Harris selected the Lightsource bp solar farm following a competitive procurement process led by energy advisor Customer First Renewables.
