Plaza Provision Installs Thermal Energy Storage to Cut Energy Costs
The company has saved over $650,000
HOUSTON — Plaza Provision Co., a leading food distributor in Puerto Rico, has purchased its fourth thermal energy storage (TES) system from Viking Cold Solutions, and where installed, the TES system has reduced energy consumption by over 30 percent.
Three Viking Cold thermal energy storage systems, installed in 2010, 2013, and 2014, have saved Plaza Provision Co. over $650,000, reduced energy consumption by over 3,200 MWh, and reduced its carbon footprint by over 2,200 metric tons, said the company. The patented systems store energy at night for subsequent day use, allowing refrigeration to run less frequently. The result is significant cost and electricity savings.
