1.2 MWh Produced energy
Galileo strongly believes in environmental sustainability. Galileo S.p.A. has also adopted a Green Philosophy: in 2012, Galileo officially opened two photovoltaic plants in its headquarters and in the warehouse. The system produces 1,240,000 kWh annually and avoids the emission of 765 tons of CO2. This is the equivalent of 76,500 trees, 6.6 million kilometres in a car or the annual energy consumption of 128 apartments with a surface area of 100 sqm.
A new photovoltaic system with storage is planned at the Colleferro logistics hub (600.88 kWp), co-funded by the ERDF Regional Programme Lazio 2021-2027 (PR FESR). Discover the project
