The increase of our manufacturing operations has resulted in an increase in electricity needs to meet those demands. Our energy conservation efforts include using variable frequency drives, efficient air compressors and chillers, LED lighting and state-of-the-art lighting controls. In addition, approximately 50% of our annual global electricity consumption is sourced from alternative energy sources, including solar panels, cogeneration systems, a geothermal system and wind power.
In 2024, approximately 50% of the electricity powering our facilities that support our manufacturing operations globally came from alternative energy sources.
From 2023 to 2024, we decreased our global utility grid consumption per square foot by 10% despite an increase in square footage.
Applied Medical generates solar power at its corporate headquarters in Southern California and its European headquarters in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. Our solar power generated over 3 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in 2024, providing about 10% of our global electricity needs.
Our cogneration system, utilized in one of our manufacturing facilities, generated 10.1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in 2024 to meet approximately 24% of our total electricity needs. Two additional cogen systems have been installed in our Southern California manufacturing facilities.
Our manufacturing facility in the Netherlands is powered by 100% renewable energy, including wind and geothermal sources.
