McDonald’s strikes solar deal to power US supply chain

McDonald's and five logistics partners signed agreements to buy about 190 megawatts of power from the Blue Jay Solar farm.

McDonald’s Corp. and its suppliers signed a deal to buy enough solar energy to power all the warehouses, distribution centers and other elements of the logistical supply chain that serves its US restaurants.

The Chicago-based fast-food chain and five logistics partners signed agreements to buy about 190 megawatts of power from the Blue Jay Solar farm that the Italian power giant Enel SPA is building about 100 miles (161 kilometers) northwest of Houston, Enel and McDonald’s told Bloomberg News. That’s enough to run about 38,000 Texas homes.
