Clif Bar Baking Company of Twin Falls has begun construction of the region’s largest onsite solar power system, which when completed next June will supply 30 percent of the 300,000-square-foot commercial bakery’s power annually from clean solar energy.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program, the domestic baking industry consumes an estimated $800 million worth of purchased fuels and electricity per year, as noted in its guide, "Energy Efficiency Improvement and Cost Saving Opportunities for the Baking Industry" (Nov. 2016 update, available on www.energystar.gov).

Plants and facilities find support in their conservation quest.

Located in Twin Falls, ID, the sustainable bakery will help Clif Bar & Co. meet growing consumer demand for organic energy and nutrition bars.
