By partnering with experts like Solar Optimum and DSD Renewables, we can continue to improve our environmental programs with additional waste, water and energy reduction targets and initiatives,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The solar carport will be built over the main guest parking lot, and the park will be able to offset 100% of its energy usage with solar power.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Six Flags Magic Mountain installation, two additional parks \u2014 Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Northern California and Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey \u2014 have also developed on-site solar capabilities with over 30 MW of fully-operational solar power systems installed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re honored to partner with Six Flags and Solar Optimum on this solar + storage project through DSD\u2019s Developer Network and commend Six Flags\u2019 commitment to onsite renewables,\u201d said Danielle Fidel, Senior Director, Developer Network at DSD. \u201cUsing their parking lot for solar canopies will not only offset 100% of the park\u2019s energy use, it will also provide the added benefit of shaded parking for customers. A win-win for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSix Flags is already an onsite renewables trailblazer, and with this project, they will continue to break records,\u201d said Arno Aghamalian, Solar Optimum CEO and Founder. \u201cWe are proud of the partnership we have helped establish between DSD, Six Flags and Solar Optimum, as we add to their portfolio of sites and work to offset all their loads with solar and batteries. As utility prices inevitably increase, these projects reduce costs, decrease their carbon footprint, and ultimately provide more value to the customer with much desired shared. The future of solar has never looked brighter, and we\u2019re excited to lead the change with our trusted partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>News item from Six
