At a dedication event held today, Cox Enterprises announced the completion of solar projects at its Cox Communications facility in Las Vegas and its Manheim Nevada facility in North Las Vegas. Combined, the solar installations annually prevent more than 1,700 tons of carbon from entering the environment. The installations produce 1,523 kW of clean energy, equivalent to the amount needed to power 238 homes.
Cox Enterprises launched its national Cox Conserves program in 2007 and has invested more than $100 million in sustainability and conservation initiatives since that time. Through these investments, the company has prevented 65,000 tons of carbon from entering the environment, diverted 6,000 tons of waste from landfill and conserved 55 million gallons of water. The company recently committed to invest $25 million in sustainable companies and technologies by 2020.
