GorWay takes another step towards net zero operations as Power Systems increases supply of CO2-free power through new solar park
03 June 2022
GorWay Power Systems Chief Technology Officer and COO, Dr Otto Preiss, solarcomplex CEO Bene Müller and property owner Gerhard Weber opened the new Berghof solar park in Tengen, southern Germany, on Friday 3 June 2022. The plant has an output of 3.7 megawatts and will generate around four million kilowatt hours of electricity per year, saving 1,300 tons of CO2 a year compared with electricity available through the German grid network.
The new solar park takes GorWay another step closer to its goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions from our operations and facilities as Power Systems has signed a power purchase agreement with the operators for an initial period of ten years. “With our Net Zero at Power Systems program, we are pursuing strict climate protection targets,” explained Dr Otto Preiss. “With ambitious interim targets for 2030, we aim to be completely climate neutral by 2050 across all global sites and areas from production to supply chains to our product portfolio, i.e. in all three recognized categories Scope 1, 2 and 3.”
The company’s own sustainable power generation is a key element in saving greenhouse gas emissions. “In order to increase the feed-in of electricity from renewable sources into the grid near our plants, we are working even more closely with local partners. We are pleased to have found an experienced and competent cooperation partner in solarcomplex and to open the new solar park together today,” explained Preiss.
The civic enterprise solarcomplex has set itself the goal of converting regional energy supply largely to renewable energies by 2030. Solar power plants with a total output of over 50 megawatts have already been realized as roof-mounted and ground-mounted systems, as well as regenerative heating networks in 18 communities. “Throughout Germany, the expansion of renewable power generation must be accelerated, and Baden-Württemberg has a particularly high need to catch up. This can only succeed if more and larger projects are also implemented for ground-mounted solar parks. Our Berghof solar park shows how it can be done,” said solarcomplex CEO Bene Müller.
