The entire center uses 100% electricity from renewable energy sources. The widespread use of LED lighting will achieve major savings. The installation of heat pumps has completely eliminated the need for gas in the public areas, and a comprehensive expansion of photovoltaics will now help the center to generate some of the electricity it needs itself.
By October, a comprehensive (rooftop) photovoltaic system will also be installed on the roofs of the Designer Outlet. This will power the public areas of Designer Outlet Parndorf. 1,650 sq m of the 36,000 sq m total roof area of the Designer Outlet Parndorf will be equipped with state-of-the-art photovoltaic panels by October 2024. The comprehensive photovoltaic project has an output of approx. 400 kWp.
The electricity from renewable solar energy will be used to supply the public areas of the center. At the same time, Austria’s largest charging station is being built on the site of the popular designer outlet. A total of 100 new e-charging stations will be created for customers at the location. The project is being implemented together with Burgenland Energie.
“The Designer Outlet Parndorf is doing its part to act sustainably and conserve resources. We are very proud that we can play a pioneering role in the implementation of environmentally friendly technologies and that the largest e-charging hub in Austria is being built here. By investing in the photovoltaic system, we are making an important contribution to climate protection. Photovoltaics help us to produce some of the electricity we need ourselves and thus promote our independence from fossil fuels,” explains Mario Schwann, General Manager Designer Outlet Parndorf.
