PUNTA CANA. Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Hotels & Resorts, part of the Sirenis chain, and the Punta Cana Macao Energy Consortium (CEPM) enthusiastically celebrate the inauguration of a photovoltaic solar plant in the facilities of this hotel complex.
With a power of 1.05MWp, this initiative represents a significant milestone in the promotion of sustainable tourism and the adoption of environmentally friendly practices in this area of the country.
The project is made up of 1,568 photovoltaic modules, each with a capacity of 670Wp, generating an estimated 1,659MWh in the first year. This clean energy production will be key to boosting hotel operations, avoiding the annual emission of 1,173 tons of CO2, and offering visitors a differentiating experience by immersing themselves in a sustainable environment during their stay.
“This joint effort not only marks significant progress in sustainable tourism, but also promotes the responsible and planned energy transition that this tourist area requires,” said Oscar San Martín, general manager at CEPM. “By integrating renewable energy and advanced storage technology, we are ushering in a new era in the way we approach and use energy. “We are honored to have allies like Sirenis to promote sustainability at all levels and provide an increasingly cleaner and carbon-neutral tourism service.”
For his part, Diego Díaz, Director of Operations Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Hotels & Resorts, said “This project is not only an achievement in terms of sustainability for our chain, but also an example of technological innovation and a testimony of our commitment to excellence and the adoption of advanced technologies to preserve our planet for future generations. It's not just a set of solar panels; “It is a symbol of our commitment to a more sustainable future and a testament to what we can achieve when we work together towards a common goal.”
By joining forces in this innovative project, both companies demonstrate a shared commitment to promoting responsible tourism in the region, leading the way towards a future where sustainability and tourism excellence are inseparably intertwined in the visitor experience.
This initiative is an integral part of CEPM Zero, an ambitious plan aimed at transforming CEPM's energy matrix towards sustainable sources that include solar, wind, pumped hydro, and green hydrogen. The projected investment for this transformation amounts to 1 billion dollars, underlining the company's commitment to the decarbonization of its operations and to global guidelines in the fight against climate change.
