Cooper-Booth Wholesale Company, a prominent convenience store distributor in the Mid-Atlantic region, has taken a significant step towards sustainability by partnering with Dynamic Energy to install a 907 kW commercial rooftop solar project at its Mountville, Pennsylvania warehouse and headquarters. This project, spanning 61,000 square feet of industrial rooftop, will generate approximately 1.17 gigawatt-hours of clean energy annually, equivalent to the amount of carbon sequestered by 950 acres of US forest in one year. This will offset an estimated 817 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, demonstrating Cooper-Booth’s commitment to reducing its environmental footprint.
The solar project, comprised of 1,680 solar modules, is expected to significantly offset Cooper-Booth’s rising energy costs. This cost-saving initiative aligns with the company’s broader sustainability goals, showcasing its dedication to environmental responsibility. Barry Margolis, President of Cooper-Booth Wholesale Company, highlighted the ease of decision in opting for solar, citing the significant energy savings and positive impact on their sustainability goals. He emphasized that this project reflects their commitment to reducing their environmental footprint while making a sound financial investment.
Dynamic Energy, a leading developer and constructor of clean energy solutions in the Mid-Atlantic and across the United States, has extensive experience in developing and constructing clean energy solutions. The company developed, designed, and constructed the Cooper-Booth project to maximize state and federal solar incentives. Dynamic collaborated with the local utility and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) to manage the complexities of interconnection, permitting, and installation.
Oliver Davis, President of Dynamic Energy, expressed pride in partnering with Cooper-Booth to support their energy needs and sustainability objectives. He emphasized that the project is a smart capital investment, contributing to a reduction in grid congestion and providing a cost-effective way to cut corporate emissions. Davis concluded by highlighting that the collaboration underscores Dynamic’s mission to distribute energy and generate change.
Cooper-Booth Wholesale Company, a family-owned and operated business with a history spanning back to 1865, continues to grow and thrive. The company’s commitment to providing its customers with the best service and value available has solidified its position as a leading convenience store wholesaler in the country. This solar project is a testament to their dedication to responsible business practices and their commitment to a sustainable future.
