Kohl's now operates 59 solar locations after the opening of a solar location in Sacramento, California. This makes for its 79th solar location nation-wide. With the new Sacramento solar location, nearly half of Kohl's stores in California will be solar. Some of the newest locations include: Mira Loma, Rancho San Diego, and San Jose South.
In addition, Kohl's has taken taken steps to use less energy in their stores through energy-efficient appliances including: high-efficiency heating, cooling, sensor lighting in stockrooms, offices, and a recycling programfor boxes, hangers, and packaging.
The new store in Sacramento features 990 panels generating 206 kW of electricity, or 50% of the store's energy.
Today, the California Kohl's chain generated 50 million kWh of solar electricity, accounting for 1% of the California Solar Initiative goal. With the energy improvements and clean energy generation, Kohl's has been ranked number 1 greenest retailer in the U.S.
