Clearloop Flip’s the Switch on the Panola County Projects
We are excited to share that on June 4th, 2024, our partner Clearloop officially “flipped the switch” on the first two of three planned solar projects in Panola County, Mississippi. These projects are now online and generating renewable energy for the next 40 years!
As a part of Infoblox’s environmental efforts to offset our annual carbon emissions we invested in the first project, Panola I Solar Farm, back in 2022. Our investment, alongside that of other companies, played a crucial role in funding the Panola solar projects. In consultation with the local community and through the investments from companies like ours, Clearloop developed the project to maximizing both the economic and climate impact of new clean energy infrastructure. Together, we celebrate this important milestone in bringing these projects online.
About the Panola Projects:
- These two projects, when combined with the third, will bring online 18,000,000 Wdc of new solar, which will prevent over 1 billion pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and generate enough renewable energy to power approximately 3,000 area homes annually.
- Infoblox supported the first Panola project (Panola I), which supported 189,514 of those watts. This is equivalent to providing clean electricity for nearly 30 homes annually and preventing over 11.2 million pounds of carbon from entering the atmosphere over its lifetime.
Infoblox’s Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Zafar Brooks, stated the company is committed to Environment, Social, and Governance, which includes a plan to reduce our carbon footprint and to achieve net zero by 2050. Infoblox’s investment in the Panola County project will generate carbon credits as part of our broader ESG goals. Clearloop’s partnership with Infoblox in Panola exemplifies Infoblox’s KIND mission to positively benefit society, serve diverse communities, and enrich the lives of our employees, partners, and customers.
Infoblox is committed to making the world a kinder place, and with this commitment comes an ideal that guides our actions and enables us to achieve our environmental, social, and governance objectives. More information on our ESG efforts can be found here.
