San Leandro, CA, USA: DRI Energy Completes 1 MW Solar Photovoltaic System
DRI Energy and Mercer Foods, a company in the food drying industry have commissioned a 1 MW solar photovoltaic ground-mounted system at the Mercer Foods facility in Modesto, CA.
DRI Energy completed the project in a record 33 days, meeting a critical deadline to preserve Mercer Foodsf solar rebate from Modesto Irrigation District (MID).
The Mercer Foods installation is expected to offset almost 15% of their energy usage and provide the equivalent CO. reduction of taking 217 passenger vehicles off the road.
"This project needed to be completed on-time or Mercer foods would not have received their reserved rebate level." said Mike Zweifel, Photovoltaic Program Coordinator at Modesto Irrigation District, "DRI Energy stepped up and made it happen."
Mercer Foods operates state of the art freeze drying equipment and is a heavy user of electricity. They have already completed extensive energy efficiency work at their plant, and solar was the next logical step.
"We work in a very competitive industry and we are always looking for ways to run our operations more efficiently and cost-effectively," said Dave Noland, President of Mercer Foods.
