MONTREAL – Canadian dairy company Lactalis Canada and investment platform SOFIAC have announced a partnership that will see the launch of a $10 million decarbonization project at Lactalis Canada’s manufacturing facilities in Victoriaville and Laverlochère, Que.
The project will see Lactalis deploying high-efficiency systems and targeted energy-saving measures across its facilities, which are anticipated to reduce overall energy consumption by 11 per cent and lower greenhouse gas emissions by 28 per cent at the two facilities.
“A key component of the project is the implementation of a 1.6 MW winter peak demand management strategy, which optimizes electricity use during high-demand periods and improves overall system efficiency,” states a release.
SOFIAC will be reimbursed through a portion of the energy savings generated.
The project will also enhance the energy resilience of the facilities and reduce operational risks.
