PGA Catalunya Golf and Wellness has reduced its energy consumption by 50 per cent with a number of new, sustainable energy measures, which will help the Spainish golf resort cut more than 362 tonnes of CO² emissions each year. The 36-hole venue near Girona, Spain, has invested 300,000€ in state-of-the-art air conditioning units at its five-star hotel Camiral and award-winning Wellness Centre, and an on-site, 900m² photovoltaic power station with 316 solar panels has also been installed on the hotel’s roof, enabling the resort to generate 210,772 KW of green energy to power both its hotel and Wellness Centre.
This additional 120,000€ investment will allow the venue to rely almost entirely on energy generated on site, rather than energy sourced externally and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 51 tonnes per year.
David Plana, CEO of PGA Catalunya Golf and Wellness, commented: “We realised the biggest difference to our environmental impact could be achieved by significantly reducing energy use linked to heating and cooling systems. Therefore, investing in the latest technology and generating our own sustainable energy are critically important measures that can help us deliver long-term benefits.”
