In Chicago, all city buildings now use 100 percent clean power

  • As of January 1, all of Chicago's municipal buildings, including fire stations and airports, are powered by 100 percent clean energy, primarily from the state's largest solar farm.
  • The initiative is expected to reduce Chicago's carbon footprint by about 290,000 metric tons annually, equivalent to removing 62,000 cars from the roads.
  • Chicago's renewable energy goal, first set by Mayor Rahm Emanuel in 2017, aims for all city buildings to use renewable energy by 2035, making it the largest city to do so.
  • The project will generate approximately $100 million in new tax revenue for the counties hosting the solar site, and includes a commitment for clean energy workforce training.
