Embraer has announced a collaboration with Florida Power &amp; Light (FPL) to install its first onsite solar energy system at the company’s Melbourne, Florida campus. This initiative represents the aerospace firm’s largest solar energy project to date, aligning with its commitment to use 100% renewable energy at all global sites by 2030.
“This project marks a significant milestone for our company. It signifies our commitment to the future of sustainable aviation and our dedication to sustainable growth…we understand the importance of transitioning to a low-carbon economy. The need to adapt our industry to this new context presents a significant opportunity for growth and innovation,” said Embraer president and CEO Francisco Gomes Neto.
Comprising more than 1,900 panels, the solar installation&nbsp;is expected to generate up to 1,800 MWh annually, offsetting most of the energy needed to power Embraer’s customer center. The project, scheduled to begin operations by year-end, is part of Embraer’s broader environmental efforts, which include increasing the use of sustainable aviation fuel in its operations.
FPL’s SolarVantage program, which facilitates custom onsite solar solutions, will design, install, and maintain the solar system without upfront costs to Embraer. Tim Oliver, FPL’s v-p of development, stated, “We are excited to welcome Embraer to our FPL SolarVantage program with an onsite solar installation designed to help them get one step closer to their sustainability goals.”
