How Disney will power its theme parks with solar energy
Disney is building on its Renewable Energy Plans for its Theme Parks around the world, and it’s not the only multinational ramping up company targets in order to achieve net zero emissions by 2030.
The most magical place on earth is about to get a lot more green…by powering the magic using the sun.
Walt Disney World, is the size of San Francisco city, approximately 30,500 acres.
In a bold move towards fighting the climate crisis, Disney is adding two new solar plants at Walt Disney World, Florida, alongside the solar farm already in operation (that is Mickey mouse shaped of course)
The facilities will produce almost half of the resort’s annual needs to power its four theme parks, 25 hotels and 2 water parks.
It’s expected to open in two years.
Mickey Mouse isn’t the only guy powering the magic of Disney… sunny days before the fireworks, will bring more than just happy energy, it will power solar energy so the magic can go on.
Disney is revamping its renewable energy efforts, to reduce the carbon footprint of its theme parks, around the world.
“Through the innovative use of space, and with a touch of Disney magic, we are using the sun to conserve energy and power up in a responsible manner,” said Mark Penning, Disney’s vice president for Animals, Science and Environment at its theme parks division.
“Our new set of ambitious goals commit us to achieve net zero emissions for our direct operations by 2030.”
There are also new solar canopies being installed at Disneyland Paris that will provide shelter for 9,500 guest vehicles, as well as a solar facility that will provide about 70 per cent of the power used on Disney Cruise Line’s private island Castaway Cay in The Bahamas
The company’s total solar portfolio, can provide enough energy for 65,000 homes, or eight Magic Kingdom parks, for one year.
“Since 2009, Disney has operated under a long-term vision to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions, and we’re just getting started,” Penning wrote in a blog post.
