E.ON Energie Romania has become a producer of green energy following the completion of a photovoltaic power plant for the Webasto factory in Arad, under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA).
The project entailed the construction of a photovoltaic system comprising 3,360 modules of 460 watts, situated along the perimeter of the Webasto-owned facility in the commune of Zimandu Nou, Arad County, with a total power output of 1,545.60 kWp. The photovoltaic power plant will offer several benefits for Webasto Romania, as it will cover 23% of the company’s annual electricity needs, reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 467.74 tons per year.
In the non-residential sector, E.ON Energie Romania’s portfolio of photovoltaic generation projects currently comprises over 392 finalized projects, with a total investment of €74 million.
The total production of photovoltaic energy is over 104 GWh/year, and CO2 emissions are reduced by about 23,000 tons each year.
This €1 million project, developed, implemented, financed, and operated by E.ON Energie Romania, will sell the entire amount of renewable energy produced, about 1,530.51 MWh per year, to Webasto on a long-term basis for 15 years at a fixed price with annual indexation.Webasto, a leading global supplier of systems for the automotive industry, constantly focuses its efforts on sustainability and actively contributes to the energy transition in manufacturing.
