Project Overview:
As a growth company, Kohl's is working to expand to 1400 stores by 2012. Kohl's plans to open every new store as a "green" store and has over 80 stores planned for 2008. Supporting this rapid growth in an environmentally friendly manner is not easy. Large solar implementations can be complex to manage and traditionally require a substantial upfront capital investment.SunEdison's service model enabled Kohl's to roll out a national solar energy program that both reduced their costs and met their environmental objectives.

Customer Testimonial:
"I don't think there is any bad thing you can do when it comes to making good decisions about the environment. We win on many fronts. We get cost savings, we're using renewable green power, and we know it's going to be predictable for 20 years. It also shows that we are taking action to support green power. Our near term goal is to have 100 solar rooftops over the next few years."
