The agreed annual volume can meet power consumption needs of around 30,000 households. The PPA will ensure that Bayer sites in Darmstadt, Weimar, Bitterfeld, Bergkamen, Berlin and Wuppertal obtain 100% of their purchased electricity from renewable sources, Friday’s statement said.
“Last year, we signed a comprehensive agreement in the USA that will enable us to purchase 60 percent of the electricity we buy in the USA from renewable energy sources in the future. I am delighted that we have found a good partner in Germany with Wuppertaler Stadtwerke,” said Matthias Berninger, Head of Public Affairs, Science, Sustainability & HSE at Bayer.
Bayer has pledged to become climate-neutral by 2030. Its climate targets include purchasing only renewable energy by the end of the decade.
