Ally Partners with JBS to Complete Solar Project at Their US Headquarters in Greeley, Colorado

Solar Project Will Deliver Annual Energy Savings of 860,800 kWh

Ally Energy Solutions recently served as implementation partner on a 1,440-panel ground and carport mounted solar project at the JBS US Headquarters in Greeley, Colorado. The project, slated to reduce the campus’s annual energy consumption by 860,800 kWh, is part of JBS’s ongoing commitment to improving operational efficiency in order to meet corporate sustainability and energy reduction goals related to electricity and greenhouse gas emissions.

Installation took six months from groundbreaking to completion, with teams adopting heightened safety and social distancing measures to account for the Covid-19 pandemic. As one of the most visible collaborations between Ally and JBS, the project serves as a prime example of JBS’s work in reducing its operational carbon footprint. “JBS has ambitious sustainability goals for all of our sites across the globe, and meeting them will require a process of continual improvement for years to come,” said Jim Mullin, Head of Energy Procurement, JBS USA. “Here at the JBS Headquarters, we’re committed to setting the example for how to move forward in meeting those goals, and this solar project is a very visible, very effective example of this commitment.”

“Our work with JBS at their Greeley headquarters is a great example of how we are helping the industrial and manufacturing industries green their footprint with projects that deliver high ROI. The 860K in reduced energy usage is not only great for the environment, that saved energy translates into lower operating costs in perpetuity.”
