On Friday, Shares of SunEdison, Inc. (NYSE:SUNE), gained 0.18% to $11.28.
SunEdison in partnership with BITHENERGY, a leading solar developer, declared that Columbia, Md. is now offsetting 100 percent of its energy use from renewable sources. Columbia now sources 75 percent of its energy from wind renewable energy credits, and 25 percent from a newly accomplished two megawatt (MW) DC solar farm in SunEdison and BITHENERGY’s Nixon Farm solar project in West Friendship, Md.
The 2 MW solar farm is predictable to generate enough energy to power more than 250 homes and avoid the emission of more than two million pounds of carbon dioxide, equivalent to taking 220 cars off the road.
Columbia, Md. is home to about 100,000 people, and is managed by the non-profit service corporation Columbia Association. The non-profit is purchasing the solar power for the community through a 20 year power purchase agreement with SunEdison. The solar farm is located outside of Columbia, and via virtual net metering credits the community can enjoy the benefits of solar without the need to locate the solar farm on-site.
“With the completion of the Nixon Farm solar power plant, the people of Columbia now enjoy the environmental and cost benefits of getting 100 percent of their electricity from renewable sources,” said Steve Raeder, SunEdison’s general manager of Eastern U.S. commercial and industrial solar. “Solar energy is a clean, reliable source of energy that makes great financial sense for communities across the U.S.”
SunEdison, Inc. develops, manufactures, and sells silicon wafers to the semiconductor industry. The company operates through three segments: Solar Energy, TerraForm Power, and Semiconductor Materials. The Solar Energy segment provides solar energy services that integrate the design, installation, financing, monitoring, operations, and maintenance portions of the downstream solar market. It also manufactures polysilicon, silicon wafers, and solar modules.
Shares of Xerox Corporation (NYSE:XRX), inclined 1.16% to $10.43, during its last trading session.
Forty-four people across the nation die each day from overdosing on prescription painkillers, or opioids, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Xerox Corporation is working with MO HealthNet, the state’s Medicaid division, to address the prescription drug abuse epidemic through the implementation of technology that provides real-time data and alerts to ensure that opioids are prescribed and used safely and effectively.
Xerox’s prescription clinical authorization tool gives physicians and pharmacists real-time insight into recent prescriptions received and filled by a patient. As a pharmacist fills a prescription, the tool investigates whether the patient has recently received another opioid. If so, the pharmacist receives a notification that prior authorization is required to verify the medication is correctly prescribed and necessary for the treatment plan. Xerox software then streamlines the prior authorization process by managing coordination between the patient’s physician, MO HealthNet and the pharmacist. The raised communication between these groups assists manage a patient’s opioid dosage over a set period of time.
With this program, MO HealthNet has dramatically reduced the number of patients receiving more than the Food and Drug Administration’s recommended dose of opioids. Vicodin use, for example, dropped more than 30 percent, while Percocet dropped 16 percent from January 2012 to January 2015.
Xerox Corporation provides business process and document administration solutions worldwide. The company’s Services segment offers various business process outsourcing services, such as customer care, transaction processing, human resources, communication and marketing, and consulting and analytics services, in addition to finance, accounting, and procurement services.
