Illinois-based medical supply manufacturer Medline on Tuesday unveiled a new 6.7 MW solar array atop its 840,000-square-foot distribution facility in Uxbridge.
The system will generate 8 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually, which will save 5,700 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, according to a Tuesday press release.
Medline’s solar provider for the project was California green-energy company, PowerFlex.
“As a designated Green Community within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Town of Uxbridge is pleased to see that one of our business partners, Medline, is also contributing to this effort by undertaking the roof top solar project,” said Town Manager Steven Sette. “It is our hope that other businesses in Town will follow Medline’s leadership with this project and will also work to reduce our carbon footprint for the future.”
