PPD Global invests €500,000 in solar panels for Bucharest Hub

Green Forum
PPD Global, a leading distributor of premium beverages in Romania, has invested €500,000 to equip its Bucharest logistics center with modern photovoltaic panels, totaling 405 kWp of installed power.

Over the past five years, PPD Global has invested €6.2 million in the logistics center.

This investment reduces the company's CO2 emissions by 150 tons annually. The project ensures that the warehouse is powered by renewable energy, with any surplus fed into the national grid as a prosumer. Coral Construct handled the design and installation of the photovoltaic panels.

"We are committed to minimizing the environmental impact of our operations by investing in innovative energy-saving solutions and renewable resources. This self-funded project is a significant step toward supporting global environmental protection efforts. We also plan to equip our Bucharest headquarters with photovoltaic panels in the future," said Alexandru Frangopol, General Manager of PPD Global Romania.

PPD Global's logistics center is located in the western part of Bucharest, near the A1 Bucharest-Pitești highway.
