Plaza Provision installs 4th thermal energy storage system to reduce energy consumption
Plaza Provision Co., a leading food distributor in Puerto Rico, installed its fourth thermal energy storage (TES) system from Viking Cold Solutions, Houston, Texas, to help reduce energy consumption by over 30%.
Three Viking Cold TES systems, installed in 2010, 2013 and 2014, have saved Plaza Provision over $650,000, reduced energy consumption by over 3,200 MWh and reduced carbon footprint by over 2,200 metric tons. The patented TES systems store energy at night for subsequent day use, allowing refrigeration to run less frequently.
