AMAG also installs solar plant in Cham
AMAG has installed a further photovoltaic system on a roof at its Cham site. The electricity produced is used for the company's own needs. A second one is expected to be installed there this year, and another is in the planning stage.
AMAG Zug now also has a photovoltaic system (PVA). On 1301 square metres, 667 solar modules are expected to produce 263,040 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. According to a media release, this will be used on site for the car dealer’s own needs. Another PVA each is planned on the roof of AMAG Zug’s VW showroom and on the public AMAG car park in Cham, it said.
In the past two years, PVA has already been installed on roofs of AMAG operations, including in Basel, Wettswil ZH, Lupfig AG, Chur, Baden AG, Etoy VD, Oftringen AG, Buchrain LU, Winterthur and Maienfeld GR. “We are proud that we are now also one of the companies within the AMAG family that have a photovoltaic system and can thus produce a large proportion of the electricity we use ourselves,” CEO Herbert Sommerhalder is quoted as saying.
By 2025, the AMAG Group will have equipped a total of around 75,000 square metres of its roof area with solar panels as part of its sustainability and climate strategy. This corresponds to an area of around ten football pitches. According to the information provided, this will enable the company to produce more than 20 percent of its current electricity consumption itself.
