KAMBARA LOGISTICS Fukuyama Distribution Center
Website 太陽光発電
The KAMBARA LOGISTICS Fukuyama Distribution Center, located adjacent to the Port of Fukuyama International Container Terminal, has served as the Bingo region’s distribution hub for overseas commerce since commencing operations in 2006. Utilizing the enormous rooftops of the warehouses, 400kW solar panels were installed here in 2011. By using the electricity generated by these panels to power the lighting and air conditioning within the warehouses, this distribution center has created “solar hybrid warehouses” that use natural energy in an effective manner. With the additional installment of 1,608kW solar panels (“mega-solar”) in 2015, the distribution center is contributing to a low-carbon society by supplying electric power through renewable energies.
