We wish you all a happy and bright Diwali! At Huf India, our colleagues celebrated Laxmi Pujan (honoring Maa Laxmi, the goddess of wealth and purity), organizing a traditional day at both the Chakan plant and the Technical Center in Pune. See a few impressions in the slide show. The five-day festival of Diwali derives its name from Deepavali, meaning a row or array of lights and is celebrated across various religions in India. There are various legends explaining its origins, dating back centuries. However, at its core, it embodies the values of light prevailing over darkness. In some regions, it also marks the beginning of a new year. May the light of Diwali illuminate your paths and bring you peace, prosperity and success. #Diwali2024 #culture #diversity #HappyDiwali

Up to 100% of energy consumption with solar energy: Huf Espana significantly expands the solar park Huf Espana, like many other Huf sites around the world, relies on the power of the sun. However, the Spanish site has now taken the lead the plant, located around 180 kilometers north-east of Madrid, has already had a modern solar power plant since March 2022, and has now almost doubled the installation. More than 5,100 solar panels generate up to 4,700 MWh of energy per year. The installed capacity is almost three megawatts peak (MWp).  With almost 5,200 solar modules and an annual capacity of 4,700 MWh, the plant will save as much CO2 each year as around 9,200 trees would absorb from the atmosphere. Depending on the weather, the system will even cover the plant's entire electricity requirements. Thus, Huf is taking another important step towards achieving its ambitious climate targets: By 2030, the company aims to obtain its entire energy consumption from renewable resources. "Our team is continuously working on improving our carbon footprint. With the expansion of the solar panels system, we are taking another big step: depending on the weather conditions, we cover our entire electricity requirements with ‘green’ solar energy - for up to four hours a day," says Roberto Pereira, Plant Manager at Huf Espana. Take a look in our Newsroom and find out how much Huf Espana minimizes CO2 emissions with the support of Prosolia Energy Group. #sustainability #solarenergy #green
