The giants of hi-tech are increasingly "green" and eco-sustainable. In fact, after the announcements of Apple and Google, Samsung also announced that by 2020 all its offices in South Korea, the United States, China and Europe will be entirely powered by the use of 100% renewable sources.

In particular, Samsung will install 63,000 square meters of solar panels on its campuses in South Korea, thus joining the government project to increase the use of renewable sources to 20% by 2030. Although it may be surprising, South Korea currently depends still almost entirely for the production of energy from the use of coal and the use of nuclear power plants.

Of these 63 thousand square meters, 42 thousand will be used only for Samsung Digital City, the company headquarters in Suwon, south of the capital Seoul. The other 21 thousand square meters instead are destined for the Pyeongtaek (2019) and Hwaseong (2020) offices. In all the plant will produce 3.1 GW annually, ie the average requirement of about 115 thousand households.

Samsung intensifies its efforts to switch to renewable energy. His is an important commitment: the Korean giant aims to feed its factories, offices and factories with 100% renewable energy by 2020. The commitment is almost global: in fact, are interested the European, Chinese and American plants, which they represent a large part of the company's activity. The choice is obvious: these are the areas of the planet already rich in infrastructure necessary for the development and transmission of renewable energy. And in Korea? Samsung supports the Government's strategic plan to increase the use of renewable energies of 20% by 2030. In order to achieve this goal, the company will install 42,000 solar panels in Samsung Digital City, the company's headquarters in Suwon , in addition to adding 21,000 geothermal energy generators per year starting from 2019. In this way, Samsung aims to increase the use of renewable energy reaching the equivalent of the production of a 3.1 GW solar power plant, which is the equivalent of annual consumption of 115,000 families of four people.



Samsung has announced plans to meet the energy needs of its factories and other facilities in the United States, South Korea and China. The goal is to exploit renewable energy sources by 2020.

To reach the target, the technological giant will install additional solar panels in its structures. The company intends to install a total of 63,000 square meters of solar panels at three locations over the next few years. Approximately 42,000 square meters of solar panels will be installed at Suwon headquarters. While another 21,000 square meters of panels will be installed in the Pyongtaek and Hwaesong plants from 2019. In addition to solar energy, the OEM also plans to use geothermal energy.

Samsung also aims at renewable energy, solar panels will be installed in all locations by 2020

The company has also decided to adhere to the Renewables Purchasing Principles of Environmental Institutions and to the Rocky Mountain Institute's Business Renewables Center. These two initiatives help companies to simplify the process of acquiring energy from renewable sources. In this way large companies can obtain a stable supply of clean energy at affordable prices. To further reduce carbon emissions, Samsung also stated that it is working with 100 partners.
