Simon Premium Outlets, a shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations company, announced the completion of new rooftop solar system installations at Clinton Crossing Premium Outlets, Jersey Shore Premium Outlets and Jackson Premium Outlets.
Safari Energy, a New York-based commercial and industrial solar energy partner, has installed more than 50,000 sq. feet of solar panels across all three properties in New Jersey and Connecticut. The solar installations have a combined capacity of 605.6 kW and will produce over 725,000 kWh of energy annually to the three centers.
“We are always looking for opportunities to minimize our impact on the environment,” said Mona Benisi, Simon’s VP of sustainability. “This initiative illustrates Simon’s commitment to its corporate sustainability objectives.”
Through a variety of energy conservation measures, Simon has reduced electricity consumption at its United States properties by 38% since 2003. For almost a decade, Simon has consistently been recognized for its ongoing commitment to sustainability management, performance and disclosure by international organizations such as CDP and Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark.
