May 2024 - At Waterbom, we are focused on minimizing our environmental impact and becoming the world’s most sustainable waterpark. As part of our energy-reducing initiatives, we have installed solar panels to cut down our dependency on fossil fuel.

Since 2018, we have installed 452 solar panels across key areas of the park: our office, main lobby, and the roof of the Wantilan restaurant. With a capacity of 156 kWp, these panels generate up to 800 kWh per day, covering 6% of our electricity needs

These existing panels have led to the prevention of 175 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions within a year. And, our investment in solar technology has the potential to save approximately over $200,000 USD throughout the 30-year lifespan of the panels.

But we’re not stopping there! We have just installed an additional 213 solar panels in our new Oasis Gardens area. These new panels will increase our total to 665 units, which means we are now capable of supplying over 10% of the park's electricity requirements with renewable energy. The addition has the potential to eliminate up to 468 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.

By investing in renewable energy, we’re helping to build a cleaner, more sustainable future.
