Procter & Gamble Announces Renewable Energy Investments In Germany And The Netherlands

Procter & Gamble plans to install a wind turbine at the company's pet care product site in Coevorden, the Netherlands, and install solar panels at its personal care plant in Cologne, Germany. Wind power will meet about 17 percent of the factory's annual energy needs, producing some 5,500 megawatt hours of energy every year. Procter & Gamble also plans to install solar panels in other factories in the region, with the initial installation supplying about 796 megawatt hours each year. These announcements come as part of P&G’s goal to power plants with 100% renewable energy and, by 2020, goal to power plants with 30% renewable energy.
