Photovoltaics as the key to a sustainable energy supply
Mayr-Melnhof Holz is also taking a big step towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly production at its site in Wismar. The new photovoltaic system with a peak output of 2,660 kilowatt is now generating green energy.
For a greener future, Mayr-Melnhof Holz is investing around 13 million euros in ecological power supply using photovoltaic systems at its sites in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. The systems are gradually being put into operation at all locations. By utilising our photovoltaic systems, we are ensuring a sustainable and stable energy supply that is not dependent on the availability of fossil fuels.
The site in Wismar is ready after an installation period of around 5 months. A total of 6,998 panels with a total output of 2,659.24 kilowatt peak were installed on the roofs of various production halls and warehouses for the ecological supply of electricity and heat. Most of the power generated is used for on-site consumption; at full capacity in summer, 10 to 15 % can be fed into the public grid.
In Wismar, Mayr-Melnhof Holz produces MM masterline glulam, MM HBE solid timber construction elements, MM blockdeck glulam floorboards, MM profideck glulam ceilings and MM vistaline duo/trio beams.
The site currently employs 175 people.
