Hutchison Ports BEST installs solar panels on roofs of its buildings

Hutchison Ports’ Barcelona Europe South Terminal (BEST) has installed 1,832 solar panels on almost half a hectare of its buildings as part of the terminal’s commitment to the decarbonisation of the sector.

It is an auto-supply installation capable of generating 1.18 GWh of electricity, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of about 200 homes, and the installed power is almost 1 MWh (833.56 kWh).

Estefanía Soler, head of sustainability at BEST, said: “These efforts contribute to further reducing the terminal’s carbon footprint, with BEST’s emissions being 65% lower than conventional manual terminals.”
