A Nexamp community solar project in Illinois.
Nexamp announced it has partnered with Walmart to develop 31 community solar projects across the United States. These projects are expected to generate more than 120 MWDC of renewable energy for the grid, create over 1,500 jobs, and provide millions in consumer savings for local businesses and approximately 8,000 residential customers.
Walmart and Nexamp previously collaborated on a portfolio of community solar projects across New York in 2021.
The 31 community solar projects will focus on providing the benefits of affordable, renewable energy to subscribers across five states.
“Working with Walmart to expand access to affordable, clean energy is an exciting opportunity for Nexamp and for the communities we serve,” said Zaid Ashai, CEO of Nexamp. “Together, we are working to deliver benefits for thousands of households across the country. This collaboration demonstrates the power of partnerships in advancing the clean energy transition.”
The solar farms will be located in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Illinois and Minnesota.
“Walmart’s energy strategy aims to enable affordable and reliable solutions that drive positive outcomes for our communities. Our collaboration with Nexamp is intended to help communities save money on energy bills, strengthen local grid infrastructure, and drive local job creation,” said Frank Palladino, VP of renewable energy strategy for Walmart.
