Solar panels for a sustainable energy supply
Lustenberger & Dürst SA is committed to sustainability and has commissioned two solar installations at its sites in Hünenberg. With a total output of 557 kilowatts peak, the company now covers 60 percent of its electricity requirements itself.
Lustenberger & Dürst SA has implemented two measures for a sustainable energy supply. According to a press release, 903 solar panels with an output of over 370 kilowatts peak were put into operation on various parts of the Langrüti 4 building at the headquarters in Hünenberg. Further solar modules were installed on the roof and facades at the Langrüti 6 site, with an output of just under 187 kilowatts peak.
The total capacity of both installations will be 557 kilowatts peak, creating the basis for “maximum energy yield” and helping to cover the company’s own electricity requirements. Lustenberger & Dürst currently generates 60 percent of its annual consumption with self-produced solar power.
The traditional cheese manufacturer sees potential in terms of sustainability. According to CEO Simon Grander, it will be “a central key to a sustainable world”. “For this reason, we have specifically renewed our infrastructure so that we no longer need fossil fuels in our company buildings,” he is quoted as saying.
