Hormel Foods recently announced it had completed its newest solar energy project at its Jennie-O Turkey Store plant in Montevideo, Minn. The 1.75-megawatt project, which hosts a community solar array, will provide approximately 10% of the plant’s energy needs.
The project is assisting Hormel in reaching its goal of matching 100% of its domestic energy use with renewable sourcing by the end of this year. In 2021, the company launched several large-scale renewable energy projects, including its Western Trails wind project in northern Texas, the Caddo wind site in southern Oklahoma, and a haystack wind project located in eastern Nebraska.
