What are the benefits of the partnership between Walmart and EDP Renováveis for solar energy projects?
Among the 51 projects signed between the companies that establish the partnership, 39 of them were signed in the period between 2020 and 2021. In total, 7 American states benefited from clean energy, in which we can mention: Arizona, California, South Carolina, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland and New Jersey. As previously mentioned, the installed capacity will generate 38,3 MW per year.
With this amount of clean energy being generated, it will be possible to prevent them from being produced and emitted into the atmosphere or thrown into landfills, 27,1 tons of carbon dioxide or 9,2 tons of recycled waste. The partnership, which has been in place since 2020, is due to the company's good planning, considered the fourth largest producer of renewable energy in the world. Thus, as it is a supermarket, the best and most viable way found to generate solar energy was by installing the ground and roofs.

For EDP Renováveis, "the latest equipment in terms of environmental innovation will be used, EDPR has been working with Walmart to support the creation of a pioneering process of ecological solar pollination, namely through the assembly of a set of solar panels on the ground in the distribution center of the North American multinational in Laurens, South Carolina".
So far, there is no prediction when other US states or countries that have Walmart branches will also benefit with the installation of solar energy. However, a renewable energy project conducted by a large and renowned company in the sector may encourage others to develop the same plan. And thus, reducing the emission of polluting gases.
