DHL Express installs solar plant at its Amman facility

DHL Express, a leading express and logistics provider in the region, has installed a solar plant at its Amman facility, to reduce its energy use by 100%, in line with its sustainability target to become a net-zero logistics firm by 2050.

The solar power project is the first in a series of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations to be rolled out across DHL’s regional facilities in the near future.

DHL has installed 434 solar panels at its Jordan facility, in partnership with Yellow Door Energy, the leading sustainable energy partner for businesses in the region.

The solar plant is expected to produce 294 kWh of clean energy in the first year of operation, which would cover 100% of the facility’s energy consumption needs while halving the facility’s electricity costs.

Long-term strategy

“We continue to honour our commitment towards achieving a zero-emissions future,” said Bachi Spiga, Head of Operations at DHL Express Mena. “Our investments in solar systems forms part of a long-term strategy to reduce our energy consumption across our operations by tapping into renewable solutions and alternative energy supplies.

“As a trailblazer in driving sustainable logistics, DHL is executing an eco-friendly strategy to reduce its climate impact through sustainable investments across all markets we operate in,
