“With this partnership, we are contributing to the local energy transition. And by sourcing electricity from hydropower, we are further increasing the proportion of renewable energy in our electricity mix, in line with our strategic goal of significantly reducing our CO2 emissions,” explained Bernd Baader, Head of Engine Assembly Plants and Infrastructure at Rolls-Royce Power Systems. As part of the partnership, Rolls-Royce is not only securing CO2-free electricity, but also stable energy conditions that offer long-term planning security.
“Our hydropower plants have stood for clean and reliable energy for decades. With this contract, we are helping Rolls-Royce to significantly reduce its carbon footprint,” explained Klaus Eder, Managing Director of SWU. “Such partnerships are essential to actively drive forward the transition to a climate-neutral economy.”
