Clif Bar's Twin Falls bakery to install region's largest onsite solar system
Expands organic foodmaker's companywide commitment to green power
Clif Bar Baking Company of Twin Falls has begun construction of the region’s largest onsite solar power system, which when completed next June will supply 30 percent of the 300,000-square-foot commercial bakery’s power annually from clean solar energy.
The two-megawatt system will feature five acres of ground-mounted solar panels and generate an annual output of more than 3 million kilowatt hours of electricity, the equivalent of the solar power needed to run 280 homes for a year. The system also will include onsite pollinator habitat to support local biodiversity, and carports in the bakery’s parking lot to provide shade and support electric vehicle charging stations. The whole environmental system will be available for educational community tours.
