Few Spirits switches to green energy sources

US producer Few Spirits is now operating on 100% “pollution-free” electricity after partnering with clean energy provider Arcadia Power.

Few Spirits distillery is now powered 100% by “pollution-free” electricity

The distillery’s electricity is now sourced solely from solar and wind-based methods thus eliminating the need for fossil fuels commonly used to generate power.

“We try to reduce our environmental footprint as much as possible, doing things like utilising only grain grown within 150 miles of the distillery and sourcing other ingredients from as close to home as we can, and this is another major step in that direction,” commented Few founder and master distiller Paul Hletko.

“Between running lights, pumps, filters and a bottling line, a distillery uses a lot of power, so it’s all the more important for us to pay attention to where that power comes from.”

The move to environmentally friendly electricity sources means Few Spirits now qualifies for the Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership, along with Whole Foods, Google and Starbucks who also buy clean energy.

“We’re excited to be partnering with a company that truly exemplifies the responsible practices we all want from businesses in our communities,” said Arcadia Power co-founder Kiran Bhatraju.

“Renewable power used to be impractical for more families and businesses, but Few Spirits shows us that today, it’s possible for all of us to do our part to combat climate change.

“They are pioneers in a growing movement that will lead us to a cleaner, safer, more sustainable energy future.”
