Nippon Otis To Cut Electricity Consumption with Solar Panels

Nearly a quarter of annual electricity consumption at the Nippon Otis Elevator Co. logistics and engineering center (NOLEC) in Japan can now be offset by power generated with newly-installed solar panels. The solar panels, recently installed in the parking lot of NOLEC and covering a total area of 2672.47 m², are part of Otis’ Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy and goals, which the company committed to in 2021. The solar panels will generate electricity to cover approximately 21% of NOLEC’s annual electricity consumption. In addition, with the installation of solar panels, Otis expects to reduce NOLEC’s greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 27% compared to 2022. Nippon Otis is the Japanese subsidiary of Otis Worldwide Corp. More information on Otis’ ESG initiatives and performance cab be found in its 2022 ESG Report.
