    AMAG commissions second photovoltaic plant in Cham

    AMAG has connected the second solar plant on the roof of its own car park at Alte Steinhauserstrasse 5 in Cham to the local power grid. According to a media release from the car dealer, over 786 solar modules were installed on an area of 1599 square metres. This could generate 320,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually.

    The public car park is operated by AMAG Parking AG. With the activation of the facility, the AMAG Group is continuing to work on the implementation of its sustainability and climate strategy. In June 2023, the car dealer had commissioned a photovoltaic roof system at AMAG Zug. As there, the electricity is intended to cover AMAG’s own needs. Any excess production is to be fed into the public power grid.

    By 2025, 75,000 square metres of the roofs of AMAG plants are to be equipped with solar panels. The AMAG Group has gradually expanded its solar capacities in recent years. This has resulted in the installation of corresponding systems on the roofs of numerous plants.

    The AMAG Group has further expanded its solar power capacity: It has commissioned a new photovoltaic system on the roof of its garage operations in Cham. The 312 solar modules produce around 138,000 kilowatt hours of electricity on just under 570 square meters. According to a media release, this will cover a maximum of 30 percent of the company’s own electricity needs.

    The automotive retailer wants to increasingly produce its own electricity. It is to be used for personal use in the garages and for the operation of the electric vehicles sold. Therefore, according to the data, about 75,000 square meters will be equipped with solar panels by 2025. This corresponds to an area of ten football fields. Further expansion potential of around 100,000 square meters is still being investigated. From 2025, the company aims to operate in a climate-neutral manner.

    In addition, the roofs of AMAG Chur will be thermally insulated and fitted with translucent domes. “Thanks to the natural light, we save some of the costly and electricity-intensive lighting,” the managing director of AMAG Chur, Jan Giger, is quoted as saying. “Insulation helps lower energy costs and reduce gas consumption for heating.”
