DAYVILLE, Conn., Dec. 7 -- United Natural Foods, Inc. (Nasdaq: UNFI) along
with Solar Works, Inc., the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund and several
Connecticut politicians, are scheduled to dedicate the installation of the
largest solar electric system in New England on December 13, 2007. The 550-
kilowatt STC solar photovoltaic system, installed at UNFI's natural foods
distribution facility in Dayville, Conn., is expected to generate
approximately 600,000 kilowatt hours of clean energy annually, enough to power
more than 67 average New England homes for one year. The system output will
avoid over 14 million pounds (over 6,350 metric tons) of carbon dioxide over
the 25-year life of the system.
