A quick update to this list (probably one of many needed as big companies look to save with solar power); AT&T just activated the first of six solar installations planned at locations around California and last year installed an 841 kilowatt system (the second on site) at its Secaucus, New Jersey campus. The company is definitely looking to expand its solar energy usage beyond the single San Ramon system listed above. Look for a specific article about AT&T’s California installations in our Solar Blog.

This is a very useful list that allows us to see which of the biggest companies in the world are taking any interest in future sustainable clean energy, perhaps shocking to see how little is being done by these main players in the economic realm. More pressure needs to be put upon the decision makers in these companies. The focus will fall up them and the governments the operate alongside in Copenhagen near the end of 2009. The pressure for action and change must be stepped up to an undeniable crescendo. Working together our voices can be heard.

Great information!

I never knew this. I am sure they all do it for a few reasons however.

1. For public image. If they look like they are trying to help the environment, than people have a better feel for the company. Such as an oil company who is seen as destroying our beautiful earth, now is seen as also helping it as well as destroying it, or they may claim they are doing their part to rectify their destruction they cause everyday by (for example – solar panels)

2. Investing into the future – this would mean a long term savings for the company. If they operate solar or wind energy, than long term they are going to see a good return on their initial investment in Green Energy.

Thanks for the infomation!
