Salzburg/Vienna, 12 June, 2024
BENTELER, a global company serving customers in automotive technology, the energy sector, and mechanical engineering, and Enery, a renewable energy producer, intend to sign a 10-year physical power purchase agreement (PPA).
Under the agreement, the Czech subsidiary of the BENTELER Group will secure electricity from the newly built solar power plant situated in the Municipality of Dynin, South Bohemia, Czech Republic.
The green PPA will support the construction of a 37 MW photovoltaic facility in the Czech Republic and will help BENTELER fulfill its ESG targets by reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2 emissions.
Enery has already achieved a solid PPA track record across Central and Eastern Europe, but this intended agreement is its first contract in the Czech Republic.
Quote by BENTELER:
Robert Snijder, Vice President Procurement, BENTELER Steel/Tube and responsible for BENTELER’s overall energy purchasing: “The PPA with Enery is an important component of our sustainability strategy. By securing a substantial portion of our Czech plants’ electricity demand through CO2-free sources, we not only ensure long-term energy stability but also actively contribute to the development of renewable energy parks and the expansion of clean energy solutions.”
Quote by Enery:
Severin Vartigov, Chief Commercial Officer of Enery: “We are proud to partner with an industry leader like BENTELER, demonstrating our shared commitment to sustainable future. By providing BENTELER with reliable and clean energy, we are not only supporting their operations but also contributing to a greener environment in the Czech Republic.
