AMAG expands photovoltaics
Cham ZG/Vernier GE - Die Mobilitätsanbieterin AMAG hat eine neue Photovoltaikanlage in Vernier bei Genf in Betrieb genommen. Mit der Inbetriebnahme setzt AMAG die Nachhaltigkeits- und Klimastrategie des Unternehmens fort.
AMAG has put a new photovoltaic system into operation at its Châtelaine site in Vernier near Geneva. According to a press release issued by the company, a total of 891 solar panels have been installed on the roof of the Audi, Seat and Cupra building, covering an area of 1,737 square metres. In total, the new photovoltaic system in Vernier is expected to produce around 400,000 kilowatt hours of energy per year. This will be used on site for the company’s own requirements. Any excess production will be fed into the public power grid, according to the press release.
“The fact that we have also received a photovoltaic system fills me with great joy and pride,” Francine Varga, Managing Director of AMAG Châtelaine, is quoted as saying in the press release. “I consider it extremely sensible and sustainable to utilise the power of the sun to cover the majority of our company’s electricity requirements.”
By 2025, 75,000 square metres of the roofs of AMAG plants are to be equipped with solar panels. The AMAG Group has gradually expanded its solar capacities in recent years. As a result, corresponding systems have been installed on the roofs of numerous plants.
