Iberdrola signed a PPA with the leading manufacturer of fastening systems and mechanical components, AGRATI Group. As from 2025, AGRATI will obtain 100% of its electricity from Florembeau Wind Farm in Créquy, Pas-de-Calais. This contract represents an important step toward the realization of the sustainability and carbon footprint reduction goal.
Florembeau Wind Farm Powers AGRATI’s Operations
The five-turbine Florembeau wind farm has a total capacity of 10.25 MW. The generated electricity will annually amount to 21 GWh, supplying three production sites run by AGRATI in Fourmies, Vieux Conde (Nord Pas-de-Calais), and Avressieux (Savoie).
These sites employ 570 people across 84,000 m2, focusing on manufacturing fastening systems. GRATI currently consumes 38 GWh of electricity annually across its production sites. Additionally, the output from Florembeau will supply 53% of the energy needs for these operations.
Sustainability and CO2 Emission Reduction Goals
This will save France-based AGRATI 33% of their annual CO2 in 2025 due to renewable electricity generated at the Florembeau wind farm. From that, every year, around 2,200 tons of CO2 will be eradicated through using clean energy instead.
