Frito-Lay’s manufacturing plant in Killingly, Conn., today inaugurated a new co-generation system that will generate almost 100 percent of the facility’s electrical requirements, company officials said.
The facility will utilize waste heat generated to produce steam to help with the manufacturing of snack products made there. Frito-Lay said the new system will not only reduce the plant’s environmental footprint, but also will help alleviate the significant load on the heavily congested northeast power grid.
