McGraw-Hill and NJR Clean Energy Ventures Announce Largest Solar Energy Site of its Kind in the Western Hemisphere

The McGraw-Hill Companies MHP and NJR Clean Energy Ventures, a subsidiary of New Jersey Resources NJR, today announced plans to build on McGraw-Hill's East Windsor, N.J., campus the largest privately-owned, net-metered solar project in the Western Hemisphere. The 14.1 megawatt solar system will significantly offset the need for other energy sources to run McGraw-Hill's offices in East Windsor, including the Corporation's growing data center. The clean, renewable energy produced by the project is expected to reduce the equivalent of about 10 percent of McGraw-Hill's annual global carbon emissions and significantly lower the company's long-term electricity costs. "Our plan to use solar power underscores our commitment to green, sustainable business practices," said Harold McGraw III, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of The McGraw-Hill Companies. "We are excited by the environmental benefits of using solar energy while helping us control costs, and we're thrilled to once again have a fantastic partner in the East Windsor community, which has served as a focal point of our operations for nearly five decades."
