Minturn Nut Company Goes Solar with Cenergy Power

Minturn Nut Company, a leading grower and processor of California almonds, today announced the completion of a 403 kilowatt (kW) direct current solar photovoltaic system on the rooftop of its warehouse facilities. The large solar system was designed and installed by Cenergy Power, a solar integrator with market-leading solar solutions for the commercial market.
According to the California Solar Initiative’s public database, this is the largest commercial project ever to be commissioned in the City of Le Grand, California. The system is expected to (i) generate over 575,000 kwh of solar power per year, (ii) offset over 90% of Minturn Nut’s electric utility bill on its largest meter, (iii) pay for itself in less than 4 years, and (iv) reduce Minturn Nut’s carbon footprint by nearly 302,000 lbs. per year.
“This is a tremendous solar solution for our company both as a business investment—over 20% annual rate of return—and as an opportunity to go renewable in a big way,” said Keith Rigg, general manager for Minturn Nut. “We have also been impressed with Cenergy Power’s professionalism and know-how throughout the planning and construction process.”
