Puma Energy intends to deploy solar panels at 200 retail stations in Puerto Rico.
- About 20,500 solar photovoltaic (PV) panels will be installed across the sites.
- It is estimated that the plants will cut GHG emissions by 27,700 metric tonnes annually.
Puma Energy intends to deploy solar panels at 200 retail stations in Puerto Rico as it looks to reduce its carbon footprint. “These projects will have a lasting positive impact and generate significant amounts of clean energy. It is ideal that we can use our industry expertise and our sites to benefit communities across Puerto Rico in their desire to make a meaningful contribution to the fight against climate change using the power of the sun,” said Mario Sierra, Managing Director of Puma Energy Puerto Rico.
These projects will involve the installation of about 20,500 solar photovoltaic (PV) panels across 200 stations. It is expected that the plants will generate about 30,000MWh of clean energy yearly while reducing greenhouse emissions by 27,700 metric tonnes.
This development follows a series of similar projects by Puma Energy in Ghana, Nicaragua and Honduras. In Ghana, Puma Energy’ via its Future Energies Business unit, deployed solar systems at 14 project sites across Ghana.
