Volvo Group celebrated the installation of a large solar panel configuration at its Singapore offices that will both reduce its emissions level at the facility and boost the renewable energy capability of local electricity providers. With most employees at the Volvo Group facility in Singapore working for Volvo CE, who benefit most from this group-wide initiative.

The installation of the solar panels on the building’s roof was completed in October 2022 and since then 100% of its electrical needs have been fulfilled by solar energy, while there has also been a 50% decrease in costs. The Volvo Group building consumes 70% of the total green energy produced by the system and the PPA attached to it will run for a period of 25 years. This regional milestone is another demonstration of Volvo Group’s continuous focus on delivering world-class solutions in sustainability.
