Toyota Boshoku America Inc. and Onyx Renewable Partners L.P. unveiled their collaboration on a 5,650 kWdc solar energy project. This project will power operations at the Toyota Boshoku Illinois, LLC (TBIL) plant in Lawrenceville, Illinois, showcasing a significant leap toward sustainable manufacturing. Scheduled for completion in late 2024, the project will sit on approximately 17 acres near the TBIL facility.

It is poised to produce over 9,500,000 kilowatt-hours in the first year of production, fulfilling more than 85% of TBIL's annual electricity needs. This translates to powering approximately 880 homes annually. In addition, the project will integrate pollinator-friendly plants, amplifying its environmental impact.

Marking TBA's largest on-site solar project to date, this initiative aligns with their goal to eliminate the impact of carbon emissions from their facilities.
