The installation, which was completed in May 2023, consists of 608 photovoltaic solar panels installed on the roof of the Milton Keynes warehouse. This adoption of solar energy underscores Rhenus High Tech’s approach to sustainable technologies.
Significant Carbon Savings
The installation of these solar panels is projected to save 59 tonnes of CO2 emissions in the first year alone. The solar panels are expected to offset approximately 87 percent of the company’s annual electricity demand at their Milton Keynes location. This demonstrates a substantial reduction in reliance on conventional electricity sources and a significant step towards achieving energy sustainability.
Commitment to Environmental Management
All the Rhenus High Tech UK facilities, including the Milton Keynes warehouse, are ISO 14001 certified, a recognized international standard for environmental management systems. This certification further endorses the company’s commitment to an effective and sustainable environmental policy.
