Shopping Centre Solar Installations
Scentre Group (Owner and Operator of Westfield in Aus and NZ) are continuing on their pathway to net zero by 2030, with the recent completion of rooftop solar installations at Westfield Fountain Gate and Westfield Knox; with Westfield Hornsby and Westfield Tuggerah to be completed in Q4 2023.
MPN is proud to be assisting Scentre Group with their goal of achieving net zero by 2030. Our team recently completed the feasibility studies for both Westfield Tuggerah and Westfield Hornsby, along with delivering solar panel canopy installations at Westfield Marion and Westfield Kotara.
Scentre Group’s Head of Energy & Renewables, Craig Parr said investing in onsite renewable electricity generation infrastructure was one of the initiatives that will contribute to their net zero pathway.
“In 2022 we generated 7,806 MWh from solar installations at Westfield Carousel, Westfield Coomera, Westfield Kotara, Westfield Marion and Westfield Plenty Valley.”
“When Westfield Hornsby and Westfield Tuggerah are operational, together with recently completed onsite solar projects at Westfield Fountain Gate and Westfield Knox, these four projects will more than double the Group’s solar generation capacity from 5.9MW to 12.2MW.”
“In addition to generating renewable electricity through onsite solar, renewable electricity procurement and reducing energy use through our Next Gen Building Analytics initiative and LED lighting installations, will contribute to our emissions reduction over time.”
As renewable energy becomes a priority with many of our clients, MPN continues to deliver Structural Designs and Reviews to promote the development of this space.
