Bimbo Bakeries USA announces multi-site energy conservation plan
Working in partnership with GreenStruxure, the company has announced concrete actions to meet sustainability commitments
Bimbo Bakeries USA, Inc. is entering into an Energy Services Agreement with GreenStruxure to design, build, own, operate and maintain on-site renewable energy microgrids comprised of solar arrays coupled with battery storage. The agreement allows Bimbo Bakeries USA to receive the outcomes from the system’s performance—zero carbon energy, peak demand management and optimized use of energy from the grid and its on-site system. GreenStruxure also gives Bimbo Bakeries USA full transparency on the portfolio’s performance through its best-in-class digital platform.
Bimbo’s six California bakeries—Montebello, Placentia, Oxnard, San Luis Obispo, South San Francisco, and Sacramento—were chosen based on their energy intensity, increasing utility electricity costs and highest decarbonization impact.
