Wiegand-Glas invests in renewable energies

As an energy-intensive company, it is important for our future that we generate renewable energy close to our glass plants. We therefore focus on the continuous expansion of corresponding installations and recently installed more than 18,000 solar modules on around 42,000 m² of the roofs of our warehouses in Großbreitenbach.

PV system in Großbreitenbach to generate 7 GWh of green electricity per year

The installed capacity is 7,933 kWp. The PV system will go into operation this spring and generate around 7 GWh of green electricity per year. This corresponds to the annual electricity requirements of around 2,000 3-person households or around 7.5 percent of the electricity requirements of the Wiegand-Glas group's manufacturing companies at the Großbreitenbach site.

The use of local, renewable generation plants, such as the new PV system in Großbreitenbach, helps to secure our productions sites in the long term and remain competitive.
