Green energy for Gigafactory Salzgitter
PowerCo SE relies on climate-friendly electricity for the operation of its cell factories. For the Salzgitter gigafactory, it has now concluded the first long-term purchase agreements with the green energy producers Alterric and EnviTec Biogas AG. From 2025, they will supply around 240 gigawatt hours per year from wind power (Alterric) and around 65 gigawatt hours from solar energy (EnviTec Biogas AG). Over the entire term of ten years, this will result in a total of 3 terawatt hours of green electricity, which will be used to operate the Salzgitter gigafactory.
