BP Solar System Cuts GHG Emissions
Release date:
05 November 2009
Roger Price, Federal Member for Chifley, today formally opened Coca-Cola’s new distribution centre at Eastern Creek, Sydney.
The warehouse is partly powered by a BP Solar system of nearly 700 solar panels on its roof.
The 110 kilowatt solar photovoltaic system is one of the most significant solar roof-top installations of its kind in Australia and will generate 148 megawatt hours of clean renewable energy every year. This translates into a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 148 tonnes annually.
Tony Stocken, BP Solar’s Large Commercial Projects Manager said: “We are proud to have been given the opportunity to partner with Coca-Cola and this project exemplifies how vacant roof space can be turned into a future-proof and environmentally responsible investment.”
The solar facility has been part-funded by the Blacktown Solar City project, a constituent of the Australian Government’s Solar Cities initiative.
