Astilleros de Mallorca completes the installation of the second photovoltaic phase
Astilleros de Mallorca has successfully completed the installation of the second phase of its photovoltaic system, including a roof replacement and asbestos removal, a decisive step within its energy transition strategy aimed at reducing energy consumption, CO2 emissions and, in addition, eliminating hazardous materials. With this expansion, which involved an investment of €390,111.62, all the roofs at the shipyard’s facilities are now covered with solar panels, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and the decarbonisation of the nautical sector.
During this second phase, 2,116 square metres of fibre-cement roofing were removed and replaced with sandwich panels. As a result, the photovoltaic installation now has a capacity of 215 kW and consists of a total of 392 panels with a peak output of 258.72 kWp. An additional annual production of 315,409 kWh is expected, on top of the 148,000 kWh generated annually since 2023 by the first installation. As a benchmark, it has been recorded that on a sunny day during the summer season, the shipyard managed to cover 100% of its energy consumption with solar power. Although this is an exceptional situation, since consumption depends on seasonality and peak-season demand, it marks a milestone on the path towards a cleaner, more efficient and more environmentally responsible operation.
With this initiative, Astilleros de Mallorca continues to strengthen its leadership in sustainability within the Mediterranean nautical sector, investing in renewable energy solutions aligned with European ecological transition goals.
This project has been financed by the European Union – NextGenerationEU, within the framework of the Investment Plan for the Energy Transition of the Balearic Islands (PITEIB), with a total amount of €190,003.97.
