SunEdison announced one of the largest solar distributed generation programs ever conceived with Developers Diversified Realty, a Cleveland-based real estate investment trust (REIT) engaged in the development and management of shopping centers.

Under the terms of the deal, SunEdison has the rights to deploy solar energy systems at more than 200 shopping centers, covering up to an estimated 30 million square feet. Potential capacity of the program is up to 259 MW and the centers are located in 24 states and in Puerto Rico.

Once a particular system is operational, Developers Diversified will be able to purchase energy from SunEdison. In addition, shopping center tenants can benefit and realize energy savings by opting to purchase the power generated through the program at rates lower than retail energy rates.

1. Shopping Centers? You don't say... That should be a big help to CONSUMERS...

...given that CONSUMERS, are people who drive a lot to shopping centers to get stuff to consume.

Given the fact that we have on-line live verification that solar cells in this country have capacity utilization of like, 10% - not that this would prevent a single solar hack from misrepresenting the scale of this latest "world's largest" - we can see that this who big giant shebang is going to consume a shit load of dangerous fossil fuels.

Don't worry, be happy.

Be sure to stop by the liquor store during the trip to the solar powered shopping center to pick up some Allen's Coffee Brandy.
