The BENSELER Group, a leading supplier in the automotive industry with a focus on surface finishing, will start sourcing green electricity directly from a German wind farm starting in 2025. For this purpose, BENSELER and ECO2GROW, an innovative provider in the field of renewable energy, have signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) enabling the direct supply of wind energy. The wind PPA serves as an ideal complement to BENSELER's own solar energy production and diversifies its sustainable energy supply.
“With the partnership with ECO2GROW and the sourcing of wind energy, we are making a strong statement for a sustainable future in our industry,” said Mr. Müller, Managing Director of the BENSELER Group. “This step strengthens our commitment to environmentally friendly production and underscores our competitiveness in a changing energy market.”
Paul Appel, CEO of ECO2GROW, added: “The collaboration with BENSELER impressively demonstrates how medium-sized companies in the automotive supply industry can make their energy supply more sustainable. Wind energy is a key technology for driving the energy transition and enables companies to increase their value creation at the same time.”
The partnership marks the beginning of a closer cooperation, in which both companies aim to actively seize the opportunities of evolving electricity markets to secure competitiveness while accelerating the energy transition.
