Sanlorenzo has partnered with energy service company Axpo Energy Solutions Italia to establish three new photovoltaic plants at its sites in Ameglia, La Spezia, and Viareggio.
The new plants will have a total capacity of 1.5MW and with the existing 500kW at Sanlorenzo’s facilities, will lead to a reduction of more than 600 tons of CO2 emissions a year.
The group plans to further increase the installed capacity to 3.1MW by the end of 2024.
“The installation of photovoltaic plants in Ameglia, La Spezia, and Viareggio is a significant step forward in our decarbonisation journey,” said Ferruccio Rossi, group general manager and president Sanlorenzo Superyacht. “The transition to renewable energy underscores our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of production activities. By harnessing solar energy, we contribute to lowering greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable energy supply.”
He added: “For Sanlorenzo, this is a strategic investment aligning with the company’s social and environmental responsibility goals, demonstrating a long-term vision oriented towards sustainability.”
Marco Garbero, general manager of Axpo Energy Solutions Italia, added: “Excellence and sustainability are principles that can help businesses appropriately address the challenges of the ecological transition.
“We believe that the collaboration with Sanlorenzo is a tangible manifestation of this vision, showcasing the potential of the green economy as an opportunity to generate unprecedented synergies between companies in different sectors.”
