E.ON Provides AGC Glass Hungary With Renewable Solar Energy
AGC Glass Hungary, a subsidiary of AGC Automotive Europe, is a manufacturer of side windows, rear windshields and sunroofs for a wide range of automobile brands. E.ON Hungária Group has set up a 4MWp solar farm on the company's premises, ensuring a long-term supply of green energy and significantly contributing to the company's carbon neutrality goals.
This solar farm is located in the Tatabánya-Környe Industrial Park, adjacent to AGC's Környe-based Hungarian facility. E.ON's team of experts has installed 8,802 solar panels across 5 hectares of available land, enabling AGC's solar farm to generate 4.8GWh of electricity annually.
László Sabján, Managing Director of AGC Glass Hungary, expressed his perspective on the project: "Our dedication to renewable energy is evident in the fact that the electricity cost we agreed upon in the contract exceeded the grid price at the time. Subsequent events have confirmed our decision's wisdom, and we have further plans to expand our reliance on solar power. E.ON's renewable energy will make plant operations significantly smoother, ensuring no additional burdens compared to traditional grid power."
András István Tóth, Managing Director of E.ON MyEnergy added, "Through this latest addition to the series of collaborative projects between E.ON and AGC, our partner is demonstrating a firm commitment to renewable energy in the long run. This strategy allows them to plan costs in advance, secure their energy supply, and, last but not least, achieve their decarbonization targets."
