Hormel Foods, Jennie-O Turkey Store Celebrate Completion of Latest Community Solar Project
Hormel Foods Corporation, a Fortune 500 global branded food company known for its commitment to green power, celebrated the completion of an 8-acre solar field during a ribbon-cutting event last month at its Jennie-O plant location in Montevideo, Minnesota.
The project is projected to generate 3.2 million kilowatt hours (kWh) per year between the community solar and onsite solar projects. The onsite solar portion of the project will supply approximately 10% of the plant’s annual electricity, while the community solar portion of the project will provide Jennie-O team members, community members and businesses the opportunity to support green power and receive discounts on their energy bills.
