Windset Farms showcases how controlled environment innovations—LED-lit greenhouses, precision farming, thermal curtains, and water irrigation—enable energy-efficient year-round tomato and cucumber production at its 92-acre Delta, BC facility. A partnership with BC Hydro powers Western North America’s largest LED greenhouse, cutting electrical use ~55% and earning Windset recognition as a Clean Energy Champion, advancing its mission to reduce environmental footprint and secure local supply.
Delta BC, Canada – WINDSET FARMS® is proud to be featured in the latest episode of Everything Electric: Fully Charged YouTube series titled “Clean Energy Tech Is Changing the Way We Grow Food”. The episode showcases how Windset is pushing the boundaries of sustainable agriculture through controlled environment innovations, highlighting how the company grows energy-efficient tomatoes and cucumbers using state-of-the-art greenhouses, precision farming, thermal curtain systems, water irrigation technologies, and other sustainability practices.
The episode is centred around Windset Farms’ 92-acre greenhouse facility location in Delta, BC. A partnership between BC Hydro and Windset has enabled Windset to expand its Delta facility in recent years, making it Western North America’s largest LED-lit greenhouse powered by renewable electricity from BC Hydro. The greenhouses are equipped with systems designed for energy efficiency and sustainability, ensuring a year-round supply of vegetables to customers across North America. By utilizing energy efficient LED lights instead of high-pressure sodium lights, electrical consumption is reduced by approximately 55%. Windset Farms was named a Clean Energy Champion by BC Hydro, recognizing the company’s commitment to innovative energy solutions.
These efforts are central to Windset’s mission to reduce environmental footprint, improve resource efficiency, and lead in greenhouse design tailored to British Columbia’s climate. The video gives viewers an inside look at the companies growing practices and its motivations for continuing to raise the bar on sustainability.
In addition, Windset Farms’ co-owner and CEO, Steven Newell, spoke at the Everything Electric Canada trade show in Vancouver earlier this month. “There’s a real push from retailers and consumers to have locally grown produce, and to make that possible, it all came down to the availability of power,” said Steven Newell. “Knowing we’ve got the electricity we need gives us and our partners certainty of assured locally grown, B.C. supply, year-round.”
