Early in 2014, MGM Resorts created a program to install induction technology lighting fixtures in open parking lots at its resorts in Las Vegas. The program will save an estimated 2.7 million kWh annually. The company also announced the addition of a rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) array to the expansion of the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. When completed, it will be the largest convention center array in the world, generating enough electricity to power up to 1,300 homes.
