Melco collaborates with local SME on Macau’s largest solar power system
January 02 2019 - 5:35AM
Melco Resorts & Entertainment is committed to supporting the
development of local Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). With
environmental sustainability being a core focus of Melco’s
corporate social responsibility, the company has teamed with a
local SME to develop Macau’s largest solar array. Melco is the
first integrated resort in Macau to install on-site renewable
energy technology by installing over 18,000 solar photovoltaic
panels covering close to 30,000 square meters of rooftop space at
their flagship integrated resort City of Dreams and Studio City.
Once fully operational, the system will have the
capacity to generate a total of nearly 7.7 million kWh of energy
per year, equivalent to the electricity consumption of 1,500
average households over a period of 12 months. Each year, the
system is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 6,000
tonnes, equivalent to the volume of CO2 that 260,000 trees would
absorb in one year.
Mr. Sam Liu, Director of Business
Development at Man Io Energy, said, “We are thrilled as a
local small and medium enterprise to have the opportunity to
collaborate with Melco on this pioneering sustainability project
for Macau’s gaming and hospitality industry. The vast scale of the
system has never before been seen in Macau, and through the ongoing
partnership with Melco, our company has gained valuable knowledge
and on-the-field experience to establish its foundation as a
forerunner in the area of sustainable energy.”
