EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

The power system covers an area of around 55,000 m², which is equal in size to roughly around eight soccer fields and will generate around 6.7 GWh of electricity per year. This equates to the electricity consumption of around 1,700 households and will be used exclusively for AMAG’s own needs.

AMAG has a clear policy direction on innovative products and sustainable production methods. This integrated approach to sustainability is confirmed by external certifications such as that of the ASI (Aluminum Stewardship Initiative) performance standard. In this context, recycling, the circular economy, and energy efficiency all play an essential role at the Ranshofen site. Following the successful implementation of a heat recovery system for heating the buildings on the site about four years ago, the photovoltaic system will now enable the company to extensively exploit the possibilities for generating its electricity in the future. 

Gerald Mayer, CEO of AMAG Austria Metall AG, said: “We are delighted to be taking another step forward in the consistent implementation of our sustainability program and the reduction of specific CO2 emissions by installing this large-scale PV system on our rooftops. At the same time, this major project represents an important contribution to climate neutrality in the field of power generation.”

AMAG is on the path to deliver a remarkable contribution to Austria’s goal of achieving fully climate-neutral electricity generation by 2030 with this project. The existing production buildings are used to implement the project of green electricity also means that there is no need to build any new structures, thus avoiding the need for an additional land grab and soil sealing.
