About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

Abbott opened a new 30,000 sqm global manufacturing facility in Kilkenny, Ireland, for FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors as part of a €440 million investment. The site is fully electric, powered by six air-to-water heat pumps and nearly 600 rooftop solar panels, with rainwater collection systems. It supports decarbonization through electrification and on-site renewables. Evidence: "Abbott’s Kilkenny facility was built with sustainability in mind. The site is fully electric, powered by six air-to-water heat pumps, has nearly 600 solar panels on the roof and features tanks for collecting rainwater to use onsite." — https://www.kilkennypeople.ie/news/business/taoiseach-opens-state-of-the-art-abbott-facility-in-kilkenny-6984372
