(AOF) – Plastic Omnium signs a contract which will cover almost half of its electricity needs by 2025, thanks to low-carbon electricity supplied by EDF Renewables. The renewable electricity will be produced from five photovoltaic power plants developed, built and operated in France by EDF Renouvelables and its subsidiary Luxel. Thanks to this strategic choice, Plastic Omnium is taking a further step towards its objective of carbon neutrality on its scopes 1 and 2 by 2025.
For the EDF group, the signing of this contract contributes to the ambitions of its Solar Plan, which aims to make the Group one of the leaders in photovoltaics in France.
This direct purchase contract for electricity from renewable sources (PPA or Power Purchase Agreement) for a period of 20 years will allow Plastic Omnium to benefit from an overall annual production capacity of 45 GWh of electricity, which equivalent to the electricity consumption of 20,000 people. These five photovoltaic plants will power Plastic Omnium’s 14 French sites.
