Stanley Black & Decker, in partnership with Castillo Engineering and RPG Energy, inaugurated its first privately funded, 100% renewable solar energy project. The solar farm, which will provide clean energy to Stanley Black & Decker's 280,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, covers an area of approximately 15 acres.

This new solar farm is important to Stanley Black & Decker's sustainable environmental policy and is expected to reduce 5,500 metric tons of C02 annually. And also thanks to this renewable energy investment, Stanley Black & Decker aims to achieve energy savings of approximately $400,000 annually.

Stanley Black & Decker continues to invest in its mission to be carbon-neutral by 2030, including the solar farm in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The annual production of the solar farm, the largest 100% renewable energy solar project in the state of Kentucky, is projected to exceed the needs of Stanley Black & Decker's manufacturing facility. And in this way, the facility will provide the excess energy back to the state.
