DHL opens operationally carbon neutral site in Camberley

06 June 2024

DHL Ecommerce UK has announced the £7m facility in Camberley, which is powered almost entirely by solar energy.

THE BUILDING has obtained the highest Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, A+, thanks both to the onsite renewable energy generation as well as IoT technology to minimise energy use, low-use water appliances and submeters and the use of equipment and materials throughout with low embodied carbon. In instances when weather conditions necessitate the use of grid electricity, the site will source renewable energy. 

The 3,000 sq m site will handle 10,000 parcels a day and features ten electric van charging points. 

Camberley is the latest development to come from DHL’s £482m investment in its UK infrastructure to deliver sustainable growth. DHL will be opening its second hub in Coventry in the coming months, significantly increasing volume capacity and setting a new benchmark in eCommerce automation.
