Carnival Corporation has beefed up its renewable energy network with the launch of new solar park projects s at two of its port destinations.
It has installed solar at Mahogany Bay Cruise Center in Roatán, Honduras, and Puerta Maya in Cozumel, Mexico.
These solar installations mark a key step in renewable energy solutions across Carnival Corp’s global port operations.
At Mahogany Bay, the solar park includes 400 high-efficiency solar panels and is expected to supply 60-70% of the port’s total energy needs.
At Puerta Maya, the newly installed solar panels will provide renewable energy to power the terminal facilities (not including private businesses), and help reduce reliance on conventional electricity.
The company rolled out two solar projects last year at Amber Cove Cruise Center in the Dominican Republic and at two of its Port of Barcelona cruise terminals, Palacruceros (Terminal D) and Helix Cruise Center (Terminal E).
“Our investments in solar energy are creating meaningful benefits for the communities where we operate,” said Juan Fernandez, VP, Destination Operations, Carnival Corporation.
“We are focused on making a lasting, positive impact in our destinations.“
“This investment in renewable energy strengthens the environmental sustainability of Mahogany Bay and Roatán’s position as a leading eco-conscious destination,“ says Ron McNab, Mayor of Roatán.
