Organic Valley to enter next phase of community solar partnership
The cooperative plans to be 100% renewably powered in 2019.
Organic Valley, a La Farge, Wis.-based cooperative of organic farmers, announced details of the first-of-its-kind community solar partnership launched last year. The project enables Organic Valley, a producer of organic dairy products, to share the benefits of solar energy with its rural neighbors and become the largest food company in the world to be 100% renewably powered.
In October 2017, Organic Valley committed to achieving 100% renewable power at its corporate facilities. Since pioneering this new model of community solar development, the company said it has unlocked solar beyond its needs.
