The new PV systems are not only environmentally friendly, but also an important milestone in our sustainability strategy at voestalpine Wire Technology. Around 40% of the electricity required at the Bruck an der Mur site already comes from our two on-site hydroelectric power plants. With the new PV systems, we are driving forward the increase in our own electricity production even further. This not only means more independence, but also a further reduction in CO2 emissions.
One of the three new PV systems is particularly innovative - it not only completely replaces the hall roof, but also brings more light into our workspaces. This not only creates a more pleasant atmosphere, but also helps to improve occupational safety. We are constantly looking for new ways to make our contribution to a sustainable future.
Expressed in figures, this means that the total output of our PV systems of 267 kWp corresponds to the average annual consumption of around 80 households. This not only illustrates the scale of our efforts, but also puts the dimension of our sustainable energy generation into a context that each of us can understand. The total area of the new PV systems is approx. 1390 m².
The installation of the PV systems brings us another step closer to our goal of achieving CO2 net neutrality (Scope 1 -2) by 2035. voestalpine Wire Austria will continue to find innovative ways to produce in an even more environmentally friendly way and make our site an even better place for all of us.
