MOM's is Going Solar

MOM's Organic Market Waldorf Solar Panels

 

March 11, 2013 – We are excited to announce the activation of rooftop solar panels on MOM's Organic Market in Waldorf, MD. The new photovoltaic system, which was installed by SolarCity, is expected to offset the store’s energy consumption by at least 15%. 

 

“The Waldorf solar array is the first of many,” said Scott Nash, MOM’s founder and CEO. “We plan to install solar panels at two other locations this year, and more in the future.” Charis, MOM's Environmental Coordinator, said "We are in the process of exploring and expanding our renewable energy portfolio at all locations." Projects on the horizon include more solar panels, small scale wind turbines and fast charging stations for electric cars. 

 

A longtime supporter of renewable energy, MOM’s has been fully wind powered since 2005. In 2012, MOM’s purchased enough direct wind power and wind power RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates) to offset 424% of their company-wide energy use. The retailer also matches employees’ REC purchases, and partners with Clean Currents to provide gift cards to customers who sign up for Clean Currents residential wind power.  Last September, the EPA recognized MOM’s Organic Market with an award for Leadership in Green Power Purchasing.
