14.1 MW PROJECT PLANNED FOR MCGRAW-HILL FACILITY IN EAST WINDSOR, NJ NEW YORK and WALL, N.J., June 13, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The McGraw-Hill Companies (NYSE: MHP) and NJR Clean Energy Ventures (NJRCEV), a subsidiary of New Jersey Resources (NYSE: NJR), today announced plans to build on McGraw-Hill's East Windsor, N.J., campus the largest privately-owned, net-metered solar project in the Western Hemisphere. The 14.1 megawatt solar system will significantly offset the need for other energy sources to run McGraw-Hill's offices in East Windsor, including the Corporation's growing data center. The clean, renewable energy produced by the project is expected to reduce the equivalent of about 10 percent of McGraw-Hill's annual global carbon emissions and significantly lower the company's long-term electricity costs.
