Vallarta Supermarkets Partners with GreenStruxure® For Onsite Renewable Energy Microgrid

The Clean Energy Services Will Be Available At Vallarta Supermarkets In Oxnard, California

SANTA CLARITA, Calif.--()--Announced today, Vallarta Supermarkets has entered into a contract with GreenStruxure, a leading energy-as-a-service provider, to design, build, operate, and maintain an onsite renewable energy microgrid. This project will deliver clean energy providing 60% of the energy needed to the Vallarta store in Oxnard (2690 E. Vineyard Ave, Oxnard, CA 93036). The project will help Vallarta Supermarket avoid significant energy costs from the first year of operation and limit the impact of rising utility prices. In addition, the project will lower the Supermarket's carbon emissions by 60%, aligning with its sustainability commitment.

“By partnering with GreenStruxure, Vallarta Supermarkets is taking significant steps towards sustainability and reducing our environmental footprint,” said Joel Silva, CFO of Vallarta Supermarkets. “We look forward to offering this service to additional locations in the future.”

GreenStruxure will design, build, operate, and maintain the innovative microgrid solution utilizing solar panels, battery storage, and advanced energy management systems to deliver a clean, reliable, and affordable energy supply. This comes with significant energy cost avoidance and contributes to a greener environment by reducing carbon emissions. Vallarta Supermarkets will receive the outcomes—zero carbon energy, peak demand management, optimized use of energy from the grid and its onsite system, and complete performance insights through its AI platform, BeyondtheGrid®.

Immediate financial benefits

Vallarta Supermarkets will experience significant energy cost avoidance from the first year of the microgrid's operation. This solution protects against rising utility prices, offering the supermarket greater control over its energy expenses and future-proofing its operations against market volatility. This helps strengthen the supermarket's bottom line and thus helps it better serve its customers.

Model for companies transitioning to clean energy

By leveraging clean energy, Vallarta Supermarket will benefit from significant energy costs avoided and a lower carbon footprint. This project is a valuable example for other mid-size companies and supermarkets looking to lower their energy costs and reduce their environmental carbon footprint by transitioning to affordable and clean energy.

“We are thrilled to partner with Vallarta Supermarkets in their transition to clean energy. Our onsite microgrid supplies clean, reliable, affordable energy and optimizes energy costs to deliver the best outcomes. We believe this partnership will inspire other mid-size companies to embrace clean and affordable energy,” said GreenStruxure CEO Jose Lorenzo Lista.

The companies are partnering on additional supermarket sites for microgrid deployment to deliver clean and affordable energy, which would ultimately help Vallarta Supermarkets provide attractive prices to its customers.
