Aggreko has completed an 82-kW solar array at its Los Angeles service center, shifting the site to an entirely renewable, off-grid energy supply.
This marks a significant achievement of Aggreko’s sustainability campaign to bring more sustainable energy to its facilities. Los Angeles will be the first service center to have 100% of its annual energy needs met by on-site renewable energy. The move to distributed energy is expected to save the center $12,630 in annual utility costs.
“The solar installation at our Los Angeles service center is our most exciting yet, as for the first time, 100% of the annual energy needs of one of our service centers will be met by renewable energy,” says Todd Aston, VP of Sustainability, North America at Aggreko. “With on-site solar like the system at our Los Angeles service center and several others, we can meet the energy needs of our customers while lowering our costs and carbon emissions. Aggreko initiatives like modernizing our service centers reflect the company’s commitment to advancing engineered power solutions, and we share that same passion for our customers’ projects.”
Aggreko’s sustainability campaign has brought distributed cleaner energy to several of the company’s service centers in recent years. Earlier this year, Aggreko announced the completion of on-site solar at its St. Louis, Missouri, and Bridgeport, New Jersey, facilities, and last year the company installed solar panels at its New Orleans location. The company has also transitioned four locations, including its U.S. headquarters, to biofuel for internal fuel needs.
