Fifth Third Bancorp is making history with the opening of a solar power facility in North Carolina today.
The facility will generate enough clean power to offset all of the energy that Cincinnati-based Fifth Third (Nasdaq: FITB), one of the largest banks operating in Louisville and the nation’s 10th-biggest U.S.-based consumer bank, uses in a year. That makes Fifth Third the first Fortune 500 company to achieve 100 percent renewable energy from a single solar project.
