GH Dairy
Yuma, AZ
capacity 100kw
technology dish Stirling engine concentrating solar power
annual output 260MWhrs
commissioned 2010
encap development, through its subsidiary PowerPlay Solar Development, teamed with the largest independent milk producer in the United States, GH Dairy, to install a 100 kW solar project at one of the Sarah Farms milk processing facilities in Yuma, AZ owned by GH Dairy.
The project uses the new solar thermal electric technology developed and supplied by Infinia Corporation, incorporating a linear Stirling-cycle engine paired with a parabolic mirrored dish to produce clean electricity efficiently.
GH Dairy's solar asset will reduce its carbon footprint by nearly 250,000 pounds of carbon dioxide while ultimately avoiding the equivalent use of 119,000 pounds of coal annually.
