Stop & Shop will power 40 of its stores in Massachusetts and New York with Bloom Energy Servers, which will provide clean, reliable electricity that will power the stores even in the event of a power outage. The new power solution is expected to reduce Stop & Shop’s carbon emissions by over 15,000 metric tons per year; the equivalent of removing about 3,200 cars from the road.
"Our stores are an important community resource for our customers, particularly when severe weather strikes,” said Gordon Reid, President of Stop & Shop. “Whether customers need to stock up on food, batteries, flashlights, other emergency items, or even their prescription medications, we know how vital the products and services our stores provide are. These Servers will not only reduce our stores’ impact on the environment but also ensure our stores can stay open when needed most.”
