UMusic Hotels' first hotel in the world, UMusic Hotel Madrid, has contracted Endesa, a leading Spanish energy company, to supply 100% renewable energy as part of its sustainability policy. This alliance reinforces UMusic Hotels’ unwavering commitment to a greener future, setting a new standard in eco-conscious hospitality. The supply contract extends to fulfill all energy requirements for UMusic Hotel Madrid's guest accommodations and extensive programming at UMusic Hotel Teatro Albéniz. Approximately 780,000 kWh/year of renewable energy will be certified with Guarantees of Renewable Origin (GoO). This initiative is projected to avert the emission of over 107 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by 2024, a carbon offset equivalent to the annual CO2 absorption capacity of 5,382 trees.
