Bombardier has completed the installation of over 3,000 solar panels on the roof of its London Biggin Hill Service Centre at London Biggin Hill Airport. This initiative underscores Bombardier's commitment to sustainable practices within the aviation industry and aims to reduce energy consumption across its global facilities.
The project was developed in collaboration with Zestec Renewable Energy, a funder, developer, and asset manager of renewable solutions and part of the Octopus Energy group. The new photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are expected to generate more than 1.133 million kWh annually, reducing carbon emissions by up to 252 tons and meeting up to 32% of the facility’s total energy demand from an on-site renewable source.
“At Bombardier, we are actively committed to ensuring that we are making aviation more sustainable and this includes the design and implementation of sustainability-related projects in our service facilities around the world,” said Paul Sislian, Executive Vice President, Aftermarket Service & Strategy. “This recent installation is aligned with our company’s objective to manufacture and service aircraft with the smallest possible environmental impact and demonstrates our company’s commitment to lead the way to a greener industry.”
