Energy
Q-Park is a large consumer of electricity, both for lighting and operational equipment, and for EV charging points. We have and will continue to implement measures to reduce our energy consumption as this is demonstrating clear benefits – in financial terms as well as in our environmental impact.
For example, lights are automatically dimmed to emergency levels and switch to brighter lighting when movement of cars or pedestrians is detected. We also take simple operational measures to decrease energy consumption by temporarily closing off parking decks when not in use.
Results
In 2024, we significantly increased the number of operated EV charging points in our portfolio and the number of EV charging transactions per EVcharging point increased too.
The total amount of energy consumed (excluding EV charging) measured in GWh, in our operated parking facilities increased by 10% and the energy consumed by our operated EV charging points increased by 57%.
In 2024, we deployed a greater percentage of renewable energy in our operated facilities at 74% (2023: 26%). Of the energy consumed in our operated parking facilities, 72% was renewable energy (2023: 33%) and of the energy consumed by operated EV charging points, 88% was renewable energy (2023: 22%).
