Ralphs and Food 4 Less, which are both subsidiaries of The Kroger Co. are reaping the benefits of the new program.
The grocers have announced the installation of a photovoltaic solar power array at their 300,00sq ft bakery facility in La Habra, California. The new rooftop installation has seen the fitting of almost 3,000 solar panels to harness energy from the sun, this amount of panels can produce nearly one megawatt (AC) of clean power and 2,009 megawatt hours (MWh) annually.
“Kroger’s newest solar installation is another responsible choice that supports our sustainability goals,” said Erin Sharp, Kroger’s Group VP of Manufacturing. “We will continue to explore energy-efficient technologies and renewable energy options that are protective to the Southern California environment and communities we serve across America.”
This installation follows a 7,000-panel installation in 2019 at the company’s 555,000sq ft automated distribution centre in Paramount, also in California.
