Perdue Show Off Solar Project At Delaware Feed Mill

BRIDGEVILLE, Del. (AP) -- Poultry producer Perdue Farms is showing off a new solar energy project that will help power its feed mill in Bridgeville.

U.S. Sens. Tom Carper and Chris Coons were among the visitors expected Monday at the company's solar project open house.

The project involves thousands of solar panels covering an area roughly the size of five football fields and generating enough electricity to power more than 175 typical U.S. homes. It's a collaboration between Perdue, Standard Solar and Washington Gas Energy Services.
