Italy’s Cimbali Group, well known for it manufacturing of espresso machines, has embarked on an ambitious renewable energy [1] project at its Dolo facility in Italy. This new initiative underscores the company’s commitment to sustainability and its ongoing efforts to reduce its environmental footprint.
The project involves the installation of 460 photovoltaic modules with a total installed capacity of 230 kW. These solar panels will generate clean energy to power the production of coffee machines and related equipment at their Dolo facility, located in the province of Venice. This development is part of Cimbali Group’s broader strategy to integrate renewable energy solutions across its operations.
Since 2010, the Cimbali Group has been steadily increasing its renewable energy capacity. The company’s facilities in Milan and Cremona already feature photovoltaic systems. With the addition of the Dolo project, the group’s total photovoltaic capacity will approach 800 kWp, generating approximately 3,700 MWh of clean energy annually. This impressive feat is achieved across 4,500 square meters of photovoltaic surface area.
Currently, 54% of the energy consumed by the Cimbali Group is sourced from renewable energy, with 7% coming from its own production. This significant achievement is a testament to the company’s dedication to sustainable practices and its alignment with the European Union’s sustainability goals.
The Dolo facility project represents a significant step forward in the Cimbali Group’s journey toward a greener future. By harnessing the sun’s power, the company is reducing its reliance on fossil fuels and decreasing its carbon footprint. This initiative benefits the environment and supports the local community by promoting clean energy and reducing pollution.
The Cimbali Group’s investment in renewable energy is a clear example of how businesses can lead the way in sustainable practices. As the company continues to innovate and implement green solutions, it sets a positive example for others in the industry.
