Resonac Graphite Austria to offtake power from 42 MWp of solar projects

• Graphite electrode producer Resonac Graphite Austria GmbH will procure power from solar parks with an incorporated capability of 42 MWp that will certainly be integrated in Austria.

The clean electrical power will be made use of to power Resonac's production site in Bad Goisern, in the province of Upper Austria. The power will certainly be provided by Vienna-based renewable energy producer ImWind Erneuerbare Energie GmbH under a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) which is the business's initial long-term PPA ever.

Resonac's taking care of supervisor Dietmar Berger commented that the successful verdict of the PPA will certainly provide clean power at affordable price in the long-term, hence protecting the firm's site in Bad Goisern which creates graphite electrodes for the climate-neutral production of steel.

Earlier in January, ImWind employed German solar programmer Goldbeck Solar to develop two solar parks amounting to 42 MWp in Nickelsdorf in northeastern Burgenland near to the Hungarian boundary and also in Tauernwind, Styria, central Austria.
