Faurecia, a company of the group FORVIA, the world\u2019s 7th largest automotive technology company, announced the signing of a power purchase agreement (PPA) of Europe\u2019s largest investors in renewable energy, Octopus Energy Generation and Mirova, a management company dedicated to sustainable investment and an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers. The installed capacity of the project reaches 85.8 megawatts (MW).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The wind turbines are located in Alingsas, Sweden. This agreement will support FORVIA\u2019s plan to reach net-zero CO2 emissions by 2045.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFORVIA is the first automotive company with a net-zero target approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), and maximizing renewable power is a key part of our roadmap to reach our net-zero ambition,\u201d said R\u00e9mi Daudin, Sustainable transformation VP at FORVIA. \u201cThat additional renewable production capacity will cover about 20% of FORVIA electricity needs in Europe and it will come in operation as early as June 2023. We are delighted to develop alongside leaders in sustainability energy a best-in-class wind power facility to produce clean energy.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The annual electricity production of this wind farm will be equivalent to the consumption of approximately 56,000 French households.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schneider Electric supported FORVIA in the selection of and negotiations for this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe future needs to be both sustainable and mobile. We\u2019re excited to partner with an automotive technology company so committed to injecting sustainable solutions into their energy portfolio\u201d, said Steve Wilhite, President of Schneider\u2019s Sustainability Business. \u201cThe entire market is stepping up to find a sustainable way forward and FORVIA is showing how this ethos can be inserted practically in all aspects of a business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are happy to have signed this long-term Power Purchase Agreement with FORVIA for our 85.8MW Swedish wind project Rodene,\u201d said Olena Reznik, Investment Director at Mirova. \u201cIt allows both to participate in FORVIA ambitious decarbonization strategy and to hedge part of exposure to merchant electricity risk. It is an important contract for Mirova Eurofideme 4 as it constitutes the first corporate PPA signed by an asset of this fund. It also demonstrates the major role the corporates will have to play in the energy transition.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cElectricity supply deals like these are an important step in helping businesses meet vital decarbonization targets. Through investments like the stake our Sky fund (ORI SCSp) has in this Swedish wind farm, we’re helping to accelerate businesses’ transition to a greener energy system,” said Alex Brierley, co-head of Octopus Energy Generation\u2019s fund management team.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Faurecia, a company of the group FORVIA, the world\u2019s 7th largest automotive technology company, announced the signing of a power purchase agreement (PPA) of Europe\u2019s largest investors in renewable energy, Octopus Energy Generation and Mirova, a management company dedicated to sustainable investment and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6667,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[54,22,24],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.automotive-today.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12137"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.automotive-today.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.automotive-today.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.automotive-today.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.automotive-today.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12137"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.automotive-today.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12141,"href":"https:\/\/www.automotive-today.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12137\/revisions\/12141"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.automotive-today.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.automotive-today.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.automotive-today.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.automotive-today.ro\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
