Vattenfall, Wieland's 46-MW Solar PPA Fuels Decarbonisation

• Vattenfall and Wieland Group join forces for decarbonisation, with a 10-year PPA supporting renewable energy for metalworking processes in Germany. A step towards a fossil-free future.

Swedish utility Vattenfall AB and German copper products maker Wieland Group have signed a 10-year power purchase agreement (PPA) to support the decarbonisation of industrial production. The PPA is linked to Vattenfall's 46-MW solar park in Nauen, Brandenburg, Germany, which is set to be completed in 2025 and will supply around 46 GWh of electricity per year for metalworking processes.

Wieland Group aims to use 100% renewable energy for its electrified production facilities in the future, with the PPA covering about 10% of its energy needs in Germany. The partnership between Vattenfall and Wieland demonstrates how entire value chains can transition to fossil-free energy, particularly in metalworking processes crucial to the energy transition. With the recent political decision against subsidised industrial electricity prices in Germany, the demand for electricity partnerships between producers and industrial companies is expected to rise in the coming years.
