INVESTING in RENEWABLE ENERGY
An important component of our emissions footprint at Frontier Co-op is the energy used within our operations. In 2018, we installed three solar arrays to reduce the Scope II emissions from our Norway, Belle Plaine, and Urbana facilities in Iowa. In total, they generate approximately 500 MWh of energy per year. Sustainability is, at its core, a mindset of continuous improvement. Renewable energy is a perfect example. Each year, our team re-evaluates the policy, pricing, and technology landscape of renewables, looking for ways to continue to expand our arrays to meet the growing needs of our operations.
Since 2018, our arrays have produced:
NORWAY: 421.2 MWH EQUIVALENT TO REDUCTION OF 295.835 MTCO 2 E BELLE PLAINE: 992.94 MWH EQUIVALENT TO REDUCTION OF 697.407 MTCO 2 E URBANA: 478.27 MWH EQUIVALENT TO REDUCTION OF 335.924 MTCO 2 E
