Sustainable energy system at Gonzales facility will use wind, solar and cogeneration systems to offset energy usage by 90%
Taylor Farms, a producer of value-added produce and healthy fresh foods in North America, unveiled its latest sustainability project at the company's Gonzales, California facility. The facility will now use wind, solar and cogeneration energy systems, making it an advanced system in the agriculture industry.
Combined, the systems generate 4.25 MW of energy on-site, which will be used to run the 192,000 sq. ft. fresh vegetable processing plant. At times, the facility will generate enough power to operate 100% of operations, but on average, the three systems will offset energy usage by more than 90%.
