NOGALES, AZ – Del Campo is making a big upgrade to its Nogales, AZ facility in an effort to invest further in its sustainability initiatives.
The company has added new solar roof panels and a solar covered parking structure to its 120,000 square foot warehouse facility. The new solar panels will provide over 50 percent of the energy the warehouse uses for cooling and daily operations.
Diego Ley, General Manager, said that it was important to not only invest in the company’s facilities, but also contribute to the environment.
“Converting some of our energy to solar power will help us stay competitive and continue servicing our customers’ needs,” he said.
According to a press release, some of the benefits this investment brings include:
- The estimated coal saved will be 559,232 pounds
- The estimated CO2 reduction will be 1,118,464 pounds
- The estimated water saved will be 419,424 gallons
Del Campo y Asociados is also exploring more solar energy possibilities for their ranches in Sinaloa and in Jalisco.
“We have analyzed the benefits and investment to adding solar energy at our ranches and currently working on a plan to build solar farms that will provide the majority of our power,” said Juan Jose Ley, General Manager of Del Campo y Asociados.
This is just one more way the company continues to be on the forefront of technology, operational excellence, and customer service.
