Bowery Farming is a leading vertical indoor farming and digital agriculture company, addressing challenges such as decreasing arable land and climate change with facilities that grow produce 100 times more efficiently than traditional farmland.
Having reliable and affordable electricity supply is absolutely critical for indoor farming. To power its Kearny, NJ facility, Bowery opted for Scale's microgrid solution instead of a standby backup generator, due to the microgrid's ability to provide cost savings and emission reductions in addition to resilience.
