We are proud to announce that with the integration into the Berlin power grid, the commissioning of our third and final major photovoltaic system is now complete. Thanks to the energy generated from the three systems on our production and administration buildings, we will be able to produce approximately 30-40% of our electrical energy consumption on average, and up to 50% on peak days. Any excess energy generated that is not used is fed into the Berlin power grid, contributing to the sustainable local energy supply. The energy we feed into the grid each year is equivalent to the annual consumption of 151 households, a school or 5.3 million LED streetlights.
CLR has set itself an ambitious science-based emission reduction target within the framework of the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We commit ourselves to significantly reducing our absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 23% by 2030 compared to the base year 2021 and to measuring and reducing our Scope 3 emissions.
The commissioning of the new photovoltaic system marks a milestone in our efforts to reduce our environmental impact and contribute to the fight against climate change. This progress reflects our commitments outlined in our Acting Together program.
We would like to thank all partners and service providers who supported us, and especially our dedicated employees here in Berlin, whose commitment and hard work are driving CLR towards becoming a more sustainable company. Our journey towards elevating our sustainability efforts is ongoing, and we remain committed to implementing innovative solutions and technologies. Together, we are building a greener, more responsible future for our company and the communities we serve.
