Starbucks goes solar in Texas

Starbucks announced that it will be partnering with solar power developer Cypress Creek Renewables and U.S. Bank to power 360 Texas-area Starbucks stores with two solar panel farms. Starbucks is also separately investing in six other Texas-area solar farms operated by Cypress. In total, the Seattle-based coffee giant estimates that the eight farms will reduce their stores’ carbon emissions by approximately 101,000 tons annually. This reflects the company’s continuing commitment to becoming environmentally-friendly, as it had already invested in solar power back in 2017.
