  • Studies have suggested the (non-solar) energy required to grow and   transport fresh produce at least 1000 miles is equivalent to the energy required   for local production within CEA facilities in cold and cloudy climates such   as the Northeast and upper Midwest.
  • Where the climate is cloudy, electricity needed   yearly for suitable lighting can be as much as on hundred kilowatt-hours per   square foot of lighted area

  • This load is primarily during off-peak hours and   can be interrupted for short periods. These features should make CEA electricity   loads highly attractive to many local utilities.
