VELTINS GETS GREENER

Significant step towards sustainable energy supply

Expected total output of around 283,000 kWh per year

Photovoltaics first element for independent power generation

Now all that's needed is for the sun to shine all the time! The installation of a photovoltaic system on the roof of the sorting plant marks a significant step towards sustainable energy generation - the
C. & A. Veltins brewery is well on its way. The system is designed to achieve an output of 324 kW peak (kWp). The challenge in planning and implementing this system was to find the optimal placement, particularly taking into account the hall's essential smoke extraction openings. "These restrictions required precise engineering to ensure that the photovoltaic modules could be placed efficiently without compromising the functionality of the smoke extraction openings," says Technical Director Peter Peschmann. Everything was then thought of during installation.

symbol of social responsibility and environmental protection

The expected total output of this first system is around 283,000 kWh per year. "Other systems will follow in the coming years in order to consistently advance the C. & A. Veltins brewery's declared path towards the preferential use of renewable energies," says Peschmann. The switch to renewable energies, as in this case through the photovoltaic system, is not only an investment in the future, but also a sign of social responsibility and environmental protection. "This measure helps to reduce the ecological footprint and pave the way for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way of operating," says Veltins Managing Director Peter Peschmann.

future security concept at the Grevenstein site

The installation of a photovoltaic system on the premises of the
C. & A. VELTINS brewery is the beginning of a series of measures that will advance the energy transformation. The focus is on site and job security in order to create a sustainable and future-oriented working environment. "In the long term, we want to switch 100% to alternative energies," says Peter Peschmann. "This requires not only technological investments, but also strategic planning to ensure that the transition takes place smoothly and that our energy supply is sustainably secured." In fact, the employees responsible know exactly when and where energy will be needed, down to the kilowatt hour. The integration of photovoltaics and wind energy as central elements of a future energy supply underlines the investment in sustainable and functioning technologies and a sensible future-proofing concept.
