Today, our Swiss company Stahl Gerlafingen signed a contract of use with the energy cooperative ADEV Energiegenossenschaft for the installation of a solar power plant with a capacity of 2 megawatts, which will be installed on the roof of the rolling mill hall.
“The solar plant is an excellent example of creating and sharing value with all our stakeholders, in favour of even more sustainable steel production in Switzerland,” stated Alain Creteur, CEO Stahl Gerlafingen.
Construction of the plant will take place at the beginning of next year and already by April 2024, the plant is expected to be able to provide two million kilowatt hours of climate-friendly electricity annually.
Stahl Gerlafingen will use all solar energy for its own production.
The big installation will comprise around 4500 modules installed on the roof.
