Wuppermann commissioned a new photovoltaic system at its production site in Altmünster in mid-March 2022.
The annual energy production of the system, which was installed on the roof of the Wuppermann Metalltechnik GmbH (WMT) hall, is around 492 MWh. This covers around ten percent of the total annual electricity consumption at the site in Upper Austria. The nominal output of the photovoltaic system is 530 KW and the investment volume amounts to 400,000 euros.
"Last year, we already took a big step by switching to 100% green electricity. Now we are taking the next important step in our sustainability strategy by generating our own green electricity," explains Georg Wildauer, Managing Director of WMT.
WMT specializes in sophisticated solutions based on steel tubes and sheets. As only electricity is used as an energy source in production, WMT's production process is already largely CO2-neutral.
Since January 2022, the Wuppermann site in Hungary has already been generating electricity from its own photovoltaic system.
"These investments and the rapid implementation by our sites are of great importance to the Wuppermann Group for our goal of CO2-neutral production in 2025," adds Johannes Nonn, Spokesman of the Board of Management of Wuppermann AG.
