SIG To Purchase ‘Real-Time’ Wind Energy In Germany

Packaging firm SIG has agreed to acquire ‘real-time’ wind energy for its production sites in Germany.

Under the power purchase agreement, electricity from two wind turbines located in Beppen, near Hanover, will deliver power in real-time – as it is generated – to SIG’s German production sites.

The turbines have a total capacity of 2.6 MWp and generate around 2,800 MWh annually, or the equivalent of energy required by 1,000 four-person households per year.

This power purchase agreement is SIG’s first direct investment in off-site renewable capacity.
