The energy transition of heavy industry in Germany takes a firm step forward with the agreement between Iberdrola and the Salzgitter AG steelworks. Thanks to a photovoltaic plant<\/a><\/strong> photovoltaic plant in Schadewohl, Saxony-Anhalt, will supply an industrial process traditionally dependent on fossil fuels with renewable energy. <\/p>\n\n

Solar energy for emission-free industrial production<\/h2>\n\n

Specifically, this solar facility will produce around 60 GWh per year<\/strong>, which will be used for the production of sustainable steel. sustainable steel production<\/a><\/strong>. All of the energy generated will be delivered under a power purchase agreement (PPA) signed by the two companies for a period of 15 years. for a period of 15 years<\/a><\/strong> and a total volume of 900 GWh. <\/p>\n\n

This supply will directly contribute to avoiding the emission of about 23,000 tons of CO\u2082 annually, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the steel production<\/a><\/strong>. In addition, it is estimated that the plant could supply energy to more than 20,000 homes per year, which is evidence of its productive capacity. <\/p>\n\n

The construction of the plant was carried out in several phases with the participation of companies such as Solarpro, P&Q and EMT, together with local contractors, strengthening the regional economy and employment specialized in clean energy.<\/p>\n\n

Energy partnerships for a carbon-free industry<\/h2>\n\n

This agreement consolidates Iberdrola’s strategy to promote the electrification of industrial processes through renewable energy renewable energies.<\/a><\/strong>. The company is one of the main players in Europe in the signing of PPA contracts and has a presence in countries such as Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom and Brazil, backed by a diversified portfolio of wind and solar generation. <\/p>\n\n

The collaboration with Salzgitter not only reinforces the industrial decarbonization in Europe<\/a><\/strong>It also aligns with European climate targets and the need to move towards an industrial economy that is less dependent on coal and natural gas.<\/p>\n\n
