STAT SpA has signed an agreement with Plenitude to build a new 890 kWp photovoltaic plant at its factory in Poirino (Turin). The initiative forms part of a concrete energy transition strategy that combines environmental sustainability with the continuity and efficiency of production processes.
The system, which will be installed on the roof of the building, will directly power some of the plant’s industrial operations. Any energy not consumed on site will be fed into the grid.
The project is based on a 15-year on-site PPA (Power Purchase Agreement): STAT will be able to rely on renewable energy at a fixed, predetermined price, without having to make any initial investment. Plenitude will be responsible for the entire financing, as well as the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the plant for the entire duration of the contract. There is also an option for STAT to acquire the plant before the agreement expires.
‘This project represents a concrete step on our journey towards a production model that is ever more sustainable and efficient” said Alberto Durbiano, CEO of STAT. ‘The partnership with Plenitude enables us to integrate renewable energy into our industrial processes, whilst maintaining at the same time a stable level of energy costs and without requiring initial investment. It is an initiative that is perfectly consistent with our commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility.”
STAT SpA, part of the BENACCHIO Group, specialises in the design and manufacture of cold-formed sheet metal components for the automotive sector. This agreement forms part of the company’s broader programme of technological growth, with a particular focus on energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of its operations.
