DP World Launches Solar Project in Dominican Republic, Cutting 3,500 Tons/Year Of CO₂
DP World has officially commissioned a new solar power installation at its logistics hub in Boca Chica, Dominican Republic. This strategic renewable energy initiative is designed to significantly reduce the facility's carbon footprint by more than 3,500 tons annually. The solar plant, covering 18,000 square meters with a capacity of 5,120 kilowatts, is expected to meet 10% of the terminal's total electricity demand and decrease reliance on fossil fuel-based energy by 15%. This project aligns with DP World’s Global Decarbonization Strategy, which aims for a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. Manuel Martínez, CEO of DP World in the Dominican Republic, highlighted that the investment enhances operational efficiency and infrastructure resilience while supporting long-term trade growth across the Americas. The installation complements other ongoing environmental initiatives, including the adoption of electric cargo handling equipment. This development reflects a broader trend among logistics operators in the region to balance rising trade volumes with sustainable energy solutions, further integrating renewable sources into critical global trade infrastructure.
