This cutting-edge hybrid system dramatically reduces energy usage and increases yields.
AppHarvest, Morehead, Ky., announced plans to outfit its 60-acre greenhouse in Morehead, Ky., with a $15 million hybrid LED lighting system, making it what is said to be the world’s largest LED installation for a single building.
Through a partnership with Equilibrium, San Francisco, the state-of-the-art greenhouse will utilize Philips GreenPower LEDs from Signify Agriculture Lighting, Somerset, N.J., to grow tomatoes and cucumbers. The structure is projected to open in the second half of 2020.
