As JELD-WEN adopts environmental practices in the workplace, our DANA facility in Spital, Austria, installed a solar PV panel system to produce electricity used at the site, powering the next generation of JELD-WEN manufacturing.
In September 2024, JELD-WEN's DANA facility in Spital, Austria installed a solar PV panel system which will both cut costs from rising electricity prices in Central Europe and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from purchased electricity.
“With this measure we contribute to the necessary expansion of renewable energy and make an important contribution to climate protection,” said Electrician Kurt Buchegger, solar panel project manager.
The system will produce approximately 466,000 kWh of electricity per year and will cover a portion of the facility’s consumption. The remainder of the facility’s electricity will continue to be purchased from renewable sources.
In addition to purchasing, and now generating, renewable energy, the Spital facility also maintains the best-in-class ISO 50001 energy management certification.
