Bombardier - solar panel installation
Bombardier installed more than 3,000 solar panels at its London Biggin Hill Service Centre.

Bombardier in July announced the completion of an ambitious solar panel installation project at its London Biggin Hill Service Center. The new photovoltaic system, which includes more than 3,000 solar panels, is expected to generate 1.133 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually. This renewable energy source will meet up to 32% of the service center's energy needs, reducing the facility's carbon emissions by approximately 252 tonnes each year.

Completed in collaboration with Zestec Renewable Energy, a subsidiary of Octopus Energy, the solar panel project underscores Bombardier’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. Zestec, which specializes in the development and management of renewable energy assets, played a critical role in the project.
