Opened in 1996, TR Italy has announced a significant sustainability achievement at its 6,110m² manufacturing facility in Umbria, Italy, with the installation of 1,395 solar panels on its roof. 

Along with six inverters, the photovoltaic panels are projected to generate approximately 900,000kWh annually – approximately 25% – 30% of the facility’s electricity – making a substantial step towards reducing TR Italy’s environmental impact. During weekends when energy consumption is lower, TR Italy will also be able to sell surplus energy back to Terna, the operator of Italy’s national grid. This initiative is another example of TR’s commitment to enhancing its global ESG metrics.

Thanks to an innovative financial structure, this investment won’t result in major capital expenditure, as the installation is under a 12 year lease agreement with fixed monthly payments, offering a cost-effective solution that will lead to substantial savings over time.

Stefano Pisoni, managing director at TR Italy, comments: “As a company, we’re always striving to balance innovation with responsibility. This sustainability project is a perfect example of how we can reduce our environmental impact without compromising on the quality of our products or the service we provide to customers. This installation not only aligns with our long-term goal for energy efficiency, but it also enhances the comfort of our employees. We’re proud to be taking meaningful steps towards a more sustainable future for TR Italy.”
