Scott Laboratories Publicizes Petaluma Headquarters Power Consumption Is Now 100% Offset With Renewable, Carbon-Free Power
Petaluma, California, – July 2022 – Scott Laboratories is happy to announce we now offset over 100% of our power use from our Petaluma headquarters with renewable and carbon-free power.
The primary a part of this venture was finishing the addition of photo voltaic capability to the Petaluma facility. Partnering with West Coast Photo voltaic, the set up was accomplished on the finish of Might, which has maximized our current system.
In 2016 Scott Labs relocated to 1480 Cader Lane, consolidating operations and increasing warehouse capability. On the time, the Petaluma facility was constructed to fulfill the very best requirements of the Bay Space Clear Air District measures, together with putting in on-site bike shelters and a Petaluma Transit bus cease for commuters. The brand new building included ultra-high effectivity HVAC, low water landscaping, 100% LED energetic use-only lighting, and good receptacle techniques.
The unique photo voltaic panel array was designed to match the power’s energy utilization, offsetting about 90%. During the last six years, power consumption has elevated as we now have grown, added workers, and expanded warehouse house and exercise. We additionally elevated the variety of on-site electrical automobile stations (now 10) to help our increasing fleet of hybrid firm autos. This newest photo voltaic enlargement has helped us return to our 90% photo voltaic offset benchmark.
In 2021, the photo voltaic panels produced 302,934 kWh. That is equal to 42 properties’ electrical use for one yr. The enlargement will add 132,000 kWh, growing the equal to 60 properties’ electrical use for one yr!
The second a part of this venture was transitioning our grid power consumption to extra sustainable sources. On cloudy or wet days, the efficiency of photo voltaic panels diminishes and we complement our solar energy with grid electrical energy. To proceed our sustainability efforts when utilizing grid electrical energy, we now have enrolled in Sonoma Clear Energy’s EverGreen program, which offsets our grid utilization with 100% renewable and domestically generated power. The native energy is sourced from Petaluma and Cloverdale Photo voltaic and the Geothermal Geysers in Middletown. SCP is the one CA utility firm to offer this selection.
With our new photo voltaic enlargement and our transition to cleaner grid power, we now offset over 100% of our power use with renewable and carbon-free power. Thanks for doing all your half for the planet, neighborhood, and our enterprise.
