Nestlé Purina Makes History With First Pet Food Solar Power Plant
Nestlé Purina has made history by becoming the first pet food manufacturer to harness renewable energy directly in its production process. The company unveiled a new solar-panel array at its Denver, Colorado, USA plant on May 14, marking a significant step towards sustainability.
Emily Patterson, the driving force behind this initiative, oversaw the installation of 467 solar panels covering approximately 21,000 square feet on the plant's roof. The solar panels generate around 100 kilowatts of power, contributing to about 1% of the plant's total electricity needs.
If the Denver system proves successful, Nestlé Purina is considering installing similar solar systems at its dry pet food plants in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA, and Maricopa, California, USA.
Nestlé Purina's solar project in Denver is a pioneering move in the pet food industry. By investing in renewable energy, the company is not only reducing its carbon footprint but also exploring potential cost savings and setting an example for others in the sector.
