E.ON Energie România recently completed the construction of a photovoltaic power plant in Timisoara for Continental Automotive, one of the largest developers and manufacturers of innovative systems in the automotive sector.
The project involved the turnkey delivery by E.ON of a photovoltaic system consisting of 1,440 panels that were installed on the roofs of the production halls in Timisoara.
With a nominal installed power of 655 kWp, the power plant will provide approximately 715 MWh of renewable electricity for Continental Automotive annually and a reduction in CO2 emissions of approximately 152 tons each year.
“E.ON continues to develop partnerships to support B2B customers on their path to energy independence and sustainability. The completion of the Timișoara photovoltaic plant is yet another example that the future belongs to green energy and that the sustainability of a company is a necessary condition for developing and strengthening its position in the market, regardless of whether you are a provider of energy solutions or their direct beneficiary”, said Claudia Griech, CEO of E.ON Energie Romania.
“We believe that responsibility and sustainability are essential to innovate and prepare for the future, adding value to the entire company. Through our products, services and activities along the value chain, we support sustainable mobility. We focus on a greener future by gradually adopting green energy, increasing energy efficiency and implementing new technologies, in order to reduce emissions from production as efficiently as possible”, said Lucian Mărgineanu, director of the Automotive plant in Timișoara.
E.ON provided Continental Automotive Romania with the entire energy efficiency investment project, from consultancy and customized design to implementation and financing for 10 years, including post-installation services. E.ON will also provide maintenance of the entire photovoltaic system, through a full-service contract.
