[Asia Economy Reporter Byunghee Park] American casino and resort company MGM Resorts International plans to convert the power source of its Las Vegas hotels and casinos to solar energy, AP News reported on the 28th (local time).


MGM Resorts announced that it will install 323,000 solar panels in the desert northeast of Las Vegas to produce 100 megawatts (MW) of electricity. 100 MW is enough power to supply 27,000 American homes for an entire year.


MGM Resorts stated that 90% of the electricity used in its 13 hotels and 36,000 rooms in Las Vegas can be supplied through solar power generation. MGM described this as the largest renewable energy project in the related industry.


MGM plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2025 through the use of renewable energy.



Bill Hornbuckle, President and CEO of MGM Resorts, said that as Nevada's largest casino operator, reducing greenhouse gas emissions is an obligation, and they will maintain a differentiated position from other companies.
