E.ON installed over 7,000 solar panel modules on the rooftops of production halls and buildings in the industrial park. The energy produced will cover 11% of TeraPlast’s consumption and will reduce CO2 emissions in the long run by 660 tons a year.
“We are reducing the carbon print of used raw materials by 16,000 tons/year due to our investment in TeraPlast Recycling. The solar power plant will help reduce carbon emission by a further 660 tons/year. We would like to see more such projects implemented in Romania. If just 30% of companies that own industrial halls adopted this model, Romania would become a net exporter of electricity,” said TeraPlast CEO Alexandru Stanean.
E.ON is currently developing two other solar power projects with TeraPlast, one in Bistrita city and one in Baicoi, Prahova county.
