One-third of electricity demand from green electricity <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and improve energy security, the company is building a solar park on an area of around 11,500 square meters to the north-east of the company premises. Up to 4,560 solar modules will generate an output of two megawatt peak (2 MWp). This will cover around a third of the total electricity requirements of the locally based SCH\u00c4FER WERKE. The site offers space for plants, insects, birds and reptiles, among other things. The site will also be enhanced by the planned grazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate neutrality for the SCH\u00c4FER WERKE Group by 2030<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the SCH\u00c4FER WERKE Group, the construction of the solar park is an important step towards becoming more self-sufficient from other sources of electricity and also reducing its CO2<\/sub>-balance by around 1,260 tons of carbon dioxide per year. \"For SCH\u00c4FER, this investment is of outstanding importance with regard to our goal of climate neutrality by 2030. With this plant, we are investing in a sustainable future and significantly improving our ecological balance sheet,\" says Marcus D\u00fcber, Managing Director of SCH\u00c4FER Werke GmbH & Co.
