Boskalis Sustainability Report 2020

57

SOLAR PANEL SAVINGS In 2020 we installed more than 5,350 solar panels on the roof of our distribution center in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands, generating 1.6 million kW hours of green electricity a year – 15% of our total energy consumption in the Netherlands. This makes the center CO 2 -negative, generating more electricity than it consumes.

We have also started installing solar panels on our campus in Papendrecht and are investigating options for further upscaling. Solar panels on the offices of Boskalis Westminster in the UK saved around 15.5 MT of CO 2 emissions in their first 12 months, equivalent to 700 trees.
