18 SUSTAINABILITY & ENVIRONMENT VALUE CREATION & QUALITY (VCQ) COMMUNITY TEAM MEMBERS QUILCENE LED LIGHTING We are proud to partner with the communities we serve to find solutions to reduce our energy consumption. Over the summer, Pacific Seafood’s facility in Quilcene, Washington reduced its energy usage by 75%. As a producer of more than 50 billion oyster larvae each year, this facility uses high-powered lights to support oyster seed growth. Our team members in Quilcene partnered with the local utility provider, Jefferson County Public Utility District to find ways to reduce energy consumption. Thanks to this partnership they were able to reach this goal by replacing large metal 1,000-watt halide bulbs with energy-efficient 205-watt LED bulbs. This change is projected to save more than one million kilowatt-hours of electricity in just one year. 75% Quilcene Energy Usage PROJECTED TO SAVE more than 1MILLION KWH HOURS of electricity in 1 YEAR SUMMER 2022
