Press Release: Dakota Shy Winery Celebrates New Renewable Energy System

Another Renewable Energy Project Powered by BPi

St. Helena, CA, January 18, 2021: Dakota Shy Winery is excited to celebrate a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to sustainability with the implementation of a 56.09 kW rooftop solar system. BPi enabled Dakota Shy Winery to offset energy usage by 48% and produce over 76,161 kWh per year with only 142 solar panels. This installation has been operational since January 18, 2021, and plays a pivotal role in Dakota Shy’s goal to harvest and produce wine that is powered by renewable energy.

Dakota Shy will be able to mitigate the risk of power outages and keep operations running smoothly. Dakota Shy is now on the path to sustainable winemaking by incorporating this renewable energy system into their winery. This will lead to significant cost savings, improved sustainability, and enhanced resiliency.
