Starwood, NRG Energy Unveil Project To Integrate Clean Sustainable Energy

(RTTNews) - Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (HOT) in partnership with NRG Energy, Inc. (NRG), unveiled its first project to integrate clean sustainable energy at The Phoenician, a Luxury Collection resort.

The 568 kilowatt solar installation features around 2,000 photovoltaic solar panels, and will offset a portion of The Phoenician resort's energy demand, which is an amount equivalent to the energy needs of about 90 homes.

Core to the project was the design-driven approach, from panel placements, which work with the terrain to create airflow, to the structure's accent colors that blend into the natural surroundings.

The panels also provide shading and outdoor event space, beneficial during the desert summer months
