CVE North America’s Green Initiative: Supporting nonprofit organizations in Massachusetts
New York, NY – August 01, 2023 – CVE North America, an independent power producer based in New York, is proud to announce a series of donations to nonprofit organizations in Massachusetts as part of its Green Initiative, a unique corporate philanthropy program focused on fostering environmental resilience, enhancing natural habitats, and promoting ecological awareness within local communities. For every solar panel installed, CVE has committed to donate $1 to a local non-profit organization, as chosen by community leaders and representatives from the project locations.
Dedicated to accelerating the clean energy transition, CVE currently operates nine solar projects in Massachusetts, which collectively deliver about 47 million kilowatt hours (“kWh”) of clean energy each year. Looking forward, CVE has another 13 projects under construction in New York State that will soon produce at least another 103 million kWh enough to power around 13,000 homes annually. Our commitment to deliver clean energy to communities is underlined by our company’s mission statement: “Put people and the planet at the heart of tomorrow’s energy.”
“Our company policy underscores the critical importance of environmental, human, and social impact in our operations,” says Shadé Jaiyeola, CVE’s Community Solar and Community Outreach Program Manager. “Through our Green Initiative, we are going beyond providing clean energy by supporting non-profits who are playing a critical role in safeguarding the local environment and keeping communities safe.
CVE has donated over $95,900 between 2022 and 2023 to various local non-profit organizations as part of its Green Initiative in Massachusetts. Beneficiaries range from environmental conservation groups like the Buzzard Bay Coalition and Berkshire Natural Resource Council to community support organizations such as the Southwick Community Food Pantry and Hilltown Community Ambulance Association.
Notable organizations supported through our donations include:
– The Buzzard Bay Coalition for their Snell Creek Conservation Project
– Greenagers for their climate change and nature educational program
– Southwick Community Food Pantry for their mission to alleviate local hunger
– Berkshire Natural Resource Council for their conservation efforts
– Hilltown Community Ambulance Association to help in acquiring a used ambulance
