12/21/2023 0 Comments Production hub indeed![]() Škoda Auto’s commitment to sustainability and carbon neutrality The power plant effectively offsets over 28% of CO₂ emissions from the facility’s yearly vehicle production. With a peak performance of 18.5 MWp, it is now capable of producing up to 26,600 MWh of electricity annually, covering up to 30% of the site’s electricity consumption. Generating more than 1,440 MWh in the past year alone, it has cut the plant’s reliance on purchased energy by 40%.Ī rooftop solar power plant at the Chakan plant in Pune was expanded in February 2023. ![]() In India, the photovoltaic system at the Aurangabad plant has been connected to the grid since 2018. Škoda Auto is advancing the production of sustainable energy across its plants internationally. Škoda Auto’s solar success at the Aurangabad and Pune plants in India ![]() These modules will provide a nominal output of 2,146 kilowatt-peak (kWp). In February 2021, Škoda Auto entered into an extended partnership with ŠKO-ENERGO and ČEZ ESCO with the goal of building a solar power plant comprising 5,468 cutting-edge photovoltaic modules in total: 3,020 panels on the Škoda Parts Center, 1,328 panels on the U6C hall and 1,120 panels on the M12L hall. The solar modules at the Škoda Auto Service Center in Kosmonosy are installed over an area of roughly 2,200 m² and generate more than 450 MWh annually, covering almost 17% of the Service Center’s energy needs. The first cooperation among Škoda Auto, ČEZ ESCO and energy supplier ŠKO-ENERGO on solar systems started in late 2019. Completing another project with Škoda Auto and ČEZ, following our successful installation at the Service Center in Kosmonosy in 2019, reinforces our strong partnership.”Įxpertise in renewable energy – collaboration with ČEZ ESCO and ŠKO-ENERGO ![]() The installation of 5,468 solar modules on the roofs of three halls was indeed a challenging endeavour. Managing Director of ŠKO-ENERGO, Tomáš Kubín, describes the ambitious scope of the new photovoltaic system at Škoda Auto’s main plant: “This project is designed to generate over 2 GWh of emission-free electricity annually and represents another major step towards producing carbon-neutral energy for Škoda Auto. The photovoltaic power plant at Škoda Auto aligns perfectly with these objectives.” As a leading energy company in the Czech Republic, we are committed to supporting both private and industrial customers in reducing their carbon footprint. Our goal is to produce 6 GW from renewable sources by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality in energy production by 2040. ČEZ Chairman of the Board, Daniel Beneš, comments, “At ČEZ, we are working diligently towards decarbonisation and ensuring the security of energy supplies. Tackling this challenge holistically with our partners, we regard this power plant as crucial to achieving our ambitious yet attainable goal: to power vehicle and component production entirely using carbon-neutral energy at our Czech plants by 2030.”Īndreas Dick, Board Member of Škoda Auto for Production and Logistics As part of our Next Level – Škoda Strategy 2030, ‘Green Production’ is a central pillar of our roadmap through this decade of transformation and our ambitious sustainability efforts. “At Škoda Auto, we are continuously evaluating and working to reduce our carbon footprint. ![]()
