Whole Foods to Use Fuel Cell Power for New Store
February 03, 2010

Austin, Texas-based Whole Foods Market announced plans to power its newest store in San Jose, Calif. with on-site fuel cell power. It will be the third Whole Foods store to utilize this system from South Windsor, Conn.-based UTC Power. The new 50,000-sq.-ft. store is located at the south corner of Blossom Hill Road and Almaden Expressway. According to UTC Power, the fuel cell system will generate 90 percent of the store’s electricity needs. "This will help reduce our impact on the environment and lessen our overall energy demands from traditional sources,” said Kathy Loftus, Whole Foods Market global leader of sustainable engineering, maintenance and energy. Whole Foods operates 280 stores throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
