AMPYR Solar Europe (ASE) and ROCKWOOL have signed a 10-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to supply more than 50 GWh of renewable electricity annually from ASE’s new 96 MWp Noordoostpolder solar facility in Flevoland, starting in 2026. The solar energy, along with Guarantees of Origin, will be physically delivered via the public grid to ROCKWOOL’s operations, supporting its sustainability strategy and decarbonization goals.
This green energy supports ROCKWOOL in the reduction of their carbon footprint, advancing their ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by reducing dependence on fossil fuels and stabilising long-term energy costs. As one of the cleanest and most abundant sources of energy, solar power contributes not only to emissions reduction but also to the creation of a more resilient energy system, with decreased reliance on fossil fuel markets and their inherent price fluctuations.
Tarun Agrawal, CEO of AMPYR Solar Europe, commented: “This agreement with ROCKWOOL demonstrates the power of renewable energy PPAs to enable industrial leaders to achieve substantial decarbonization while securing long-term energy security and cost predictability. We are proud to support ROCKWOOL on their path to sustainability.”
By transitioning to renewable energy and further decarbonizing its operations, ROCKWOOL is enhancing the sustainability of its production process, and contributing to the European Energy Transition more broadly.
“This is yet another step in the continuous process of reducing our ecological footprint,” said Jos Dumoulin, Technical Director at ROCKWOOL. “At ROCKWOOL, we believe in joint responsibility for a better future. By investing in electrification and entering into smart collaborations with sustainable partners such as AMPYR Solar Europe, we are going the extra mile. Together, we are working towards a world where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand, for the generations of tomorrow.”
