PPAs cover around a quarter of SCHOTT's electricity consumption in Germany
Power purchasing agreements (PPA) for green electricity now cover 25% of SCHOTT's consumption in Germany. A new agreement with Statkraft, Europe's largest producer of renewable energy, began this January and runs through the end of 2026. This means that for a period of three years, Statkraft will supply almost 42,000 MWh per year through the PPA "Windpark Nichel," which boasts four wind turbines of 4.2 MW each in Brandenburg. This is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of more than 15,000 households.
"Since the end of 2021, we have already switched our global electricity procurement to 100% green electricity," explains Thomas Hahn, Global Category Manager Energy in Purchasing at SCHOTT. "The new contract with Statkraft is the sixth of its kind. Last year, we also signed a PPA with CleanMax for a solar-wind hybrid project in India”. The aim is to procure as much electricity as possible through PPAs as a good instrument for the energy transition."
