LKQ Corp. advances renewable energy strategy with solar project in Germany

LKQ Corporation announced that it has partnered with Ecobility Services GmbH to implement a large-scale rooftop solar power system at its central logistics centers in Sulzbach-Rosenberg, Germany. The project will be delivered through a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement, representing a key step in LKQ‘s broader sustainability and long-term greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy. Covering more than 12,000 square metres, the system will feature over 6,000 photovoltaic modules and is expected to generate around 2.7 gigawatt hours of electricity annually, covering up to 50 percent of the site’s electrical energy demand. The system is also capable of saving the equivalent of up to 1,000 metric tonnes of GHG emissions per year compared with conventional grid electricity, LKQ reports.
