- The new agreement includes the development, construction, operation, and maintenance of eight new renewable energy facilities in Germany and France, with a total installed capacity of 120 MW.
- Some of these facilities will be hybridized with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to enhance the efficient use of green energy.
- These projects are part of a global collaboration that includes an extensive international self-consumption portfolio of approximately 200 MW across Europe.
Stellantis, a global leader in sustainable mobility, continues to place its trust in Prosolia Energy, a vertically integrated energy producer, as its key partner for the energy decarbonization of its factories in Europe. Both companies have extended their collaboration to promote the development of new renewable energy facilities in France and Germany, enabling the supply of clean energy to Stellantis’ plants through Power Purchase Agreements (PPA).
The agreement includes eight new projects—five in France and three in Germany—with a total installed capacity of 119.6 MW, which are expected to become operational by the end of this year.
In France, the renewable energy facilities will be located at Stellantis’ plants in Hordain, Mulhouse, Rennes, Sept-Fons, and Sochaux, with a total installed capacity of 109.6 MW. In Germany, the projects will be located in the company’s factories in Kaiserlautern, Russelsheim, and Bochum, with a capacity of 10 MW.
These projects are part of the global partnership between both companies, which includes an extensive international self-consumption portfolio of approximately 200 MW to support Stellantis’ Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan. The group, which owns a portfolio of iconic brands such as Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Jeep or Maserati, aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2038.
Hybridization with Energy Storage Systems
Prosolia Energy began its collaboration with Stellantis in 2020 with an initial 14 MW contract in Zaragoza, Spain, which has since expanded to include the company’s first hybrid wind-solar self-consumption project with a capacity of 58.4 MW. Additionally, at its Vigo plant, Prosolia operates the largest rooftop self-consumption system in Spain with 18.3 MW.
The energy company is committed to innovation by combining different technologies to develop more competitive and efficient hybrid projects tailored to the needs of its clients. As part of this strategy, some of the self-consumption facilities in France, such as those in Hordain and Mulhouse, as well as those in Spain, will be hybridized with battery energy storage systems (BESS) to maximize energy use through a continuous and stable 24-hour power supply.
Javier Martínez, CEO of Prosolia Energy, celebrated the expansion of the strategic collaboration with Stellantis on a global scale. He stated: “Five years ago, we began working together to decarbonize the energy model of a benchmark in electric mobility like Stellantis. Over this time, the success of the plants we have already implemented in Spain and Stellantis’ strong commitment to achieving emissions neutrality have led us to take on new challenges together in Europe. We deeply appreciate Stellantis’ trust in us to continue enhancing its competitiveness through clean energy.”
Arnaud DEBOEUF, Head of Global Manufacturing and Supply Chain at Stellantis, says: “The strong collaboration with Prosolia Energy in Europe is a key asset in Stellantis plan to becoming carbon net zero by 2038, with a 50% reduction by 2030. We appreciate the proactivity of Prosolia Energy teams in promoting new renewable energy supply solutions to support the decarbonization of Stellantis factories in Europe.”
