PNE Finalises Long-Term Green Power Supply For Gerresheimer
PNE has finalised a long-term power supply contract with Gerresheimer. The clean power for the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is generated by the PNE wind farm in Germany. The primary packaging manufacturer is securing around 35GWh of clean power per year from 2024 at attractive conditions. This will save the environment 18,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.
"Industrial Companies are increasingly interested in PPAs with higher volumes and longer terms," says Markus Lesser, CEO of PNE AG. "More and more companies like Gerresheimer are actively shaping their own energy transition. We reliably assist the industry in reducing its CO2 footprint. Companies can use PPAs to secure long-term capacities of clean electricity at attractive conditions in a volatile market environment. We have noticed that industry is increasingly preferring the regional supply of electricity from wind power. Even just a few years ago, this was still electricity from PV systems or even just green electricity certificates from Norway. This is a notable change."
“The power purchase agreement with PNE is another important building block in expanding green power as a share of the supply of energy to our German locations,” says Dietmar Siemssen, CEO of Gerresheimer. “EcoDesign, green energy, and the use of the latest production technology are the key factors for us in reducing our CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030.”
