Hormel Foods Corporation and IGS Solar announced the completion of a solar energy project at the Hormel Foods Swiss American Sausage Company facility in Lathrop, Calif.

IGS partnered with HOLT Renewables to install the solar array, which consists of approximately 2,000 panels constructed on both roof and ground space. The project is projected to generate roughly 1.2 million kilowatt hours (kWh) per year – enough to supply more than 15 percent of the plant's annual electricity consumption.

IGS Solar will own, operate and maintain the array. The company is assisting Hormel Foods to integrate solar generation into its energy portfolio while helping the company better control the long-term energy costs for its buildings.
