Lightsource bp is a Penn State partner for the long haul – they will be providing us with renewable solar electricity for 25 years, but they are also supportive of our students, communities, and the environment. We look forward to continuing to build a great partnership!

Almost ten years ago, Pepsico saw an opportunity to make an impact for sustainability at Penn State when they committed funding to Penn State Sustainability. That funding kick-started the Student Farm, increased the scope of the Sustainable Communities Collaborative and City Semester programs, and supported student initiatives such as the Zero Waste President’s Box. We appreciate their partnership and support!

AEDG developed the 2MW array on the University Park campus, but they have also worked with faculty, students, and staff on sustainability-related projects!  As a long-term provider of solar electricity to University Park, and a steward of the land under the array, we look forward to continuing to develop that site for research, teaching, and great environmental stewardship!
