Gus Valladeres, Assistant Store Leader of the Richland, WA Fred Meyer grocery store, worked with CNGC to make a major upgrade to the store’s facilities with new roof insulation, furthering their commitment to a sustainable future. “Working with Cascade Natural Gas was awesome. They were with us step-by-step” said Valladeres.
The grocery store received over $331,000 in incentives to help them install their R38 roof insulation. This new installation will help maintain the store’s indoor temperatures, reducing the need for excessive heating and cooling as customers come in and out during normal operations. The new equipment has helped reduce Fred Meyer’s monthly gas bills and is expected to save them over 59,000 Therms annually. To celebrate their energy efficiency achievement, CNGC hosted a check presentation with Mr. Valladeres and his team at the Richland store.
“I encourage all local and small businesses to reach out to Cascade Natural Gas to see what they qualify for to [participate] in the energy incentive program,” said Valladeres. CNGC offers a variety of rebates to help install new, efficient equipment to better your commercial or industrial business and the environment.
