The Young Living Essential Oils distribution center in Spanish Fork, Utah, is joining the SharedSolar program from RenewChoice to cut down on energy usage and costs. The communal solar grid helps to generate clean energy in a more accessible way for home and business owners in the area, and subscribing is the latest move in Young Living's sustainability efforts.
LEHI, Utah, Jan.24, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Young Living Essential Oils is the latest of five companies across the state to join RenewChoice's SharedSolar program, a community-based solar initiative that helps homes and businesses reap the benefits of solar power without installing panels themselves. Young Living recently added its distribution center in Spanish Fork to the program. The move, in line with the company's ongoing sustainability efforts, will help Young Living offset 80 percent of its power at its distribution center with solar, while also supporting local enterprise.
SharedSolar is a communal system that allows home or business owners to subscribe to a block of solar panels and receive credit on electricity bills for the share of power produced by the leased block. The electricity is generated during the day and then delivered to the power grid for use. This system is implemented in Utah using RenewChoice's 84MW solar farms in Mona and Spanish Fork.
"We're always trying to find new ways to incorporate sustainability into our practices, and we're thrilled to be supporting a Utah-based business at the same time," said Prasad Gankanda, Chief Operating Officer at Young Living. "The SharedSolar program is a revolution in the renewable energy field, making going green more accessible and attainable for companies and residents alike."
SharedSolar is the latest way Young Living is giving back to the planet. As a leader in the essential oils community, Young Living constantly strives to increase its sustainability efforts, from monarch waystations at its North American farms to its wilderness sanctuary and desert bighorn sheep nursery at Skyrider Wilderness Ranch in Tabiona, Utah.
RenewChoice has made SharedSolar available in several cities in Utah, including Spanish Fork, Provo, Nephi, and Salem. Learn more about SharedSolar or other programs offered by RenewChoice by visiting their website.
