Wyndham Destinations Doubles Solar Capacity

Wyndham Destinations announced the completion of its latest solar installations and its commitment to further investments in alternative energy.

The company recently turned on solar panels at its Limetree Beach Resort by Club Wyndham in St. Thomas and is finishing installation at the WorldMark Clear Lake Resort in Nice, Calif., this spring. With the two new resorts online, the company will have an estimated annual solar output of more than nine million kilowatt hours at 19 properties across the U.S. that are powered by more than 18,000 solar panels.

As part of its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy, the company is planning to invest in opportunities to reduce water and energy usage across its portfolio of 245 resorts.

The company is also working to achieve a 20% renewable energy consumption of total electricity at its managed resorts by 2030 and a 40% reduction in GHG emissions by 2025 from a 2010 baseline.

“In partnership with our home owners associations, we’re investing in environmentally sustainable operations to protect the beautiful destinations our members enjoy visiting,” said Geoff Richards, chief operating officer of Wyndham Destinations, in a statement.
