LinkOne of the world's leading suppliers of plastic packaging will soon be powering its plants in Spain with climate-friendly solar electricity under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Axpo Iberia. The U.S. company Berry Global will be supplied with electricity over a ten-year period from a new 50-MW plant to be built by Spanish project developer Solaria. Due for completion by the end of 2021, the plant is part of the 626-MW Trillo project, which will be the largest solar park in Europe.

LinkAxpo has given the go-ahead to construction of the NalpSolar alpine solar plant in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, it was announced today. Work is planned to commence, weather permitting, this March. Located 2,000 metres above sea level, the pioneering project will generate important climate-friendly electricity, particularly during the winter months. NalpSolar is part of the federal government’s Solar Express initiative, while the expansion of renewable energy is a key pillar of Axpo’s strategy.
LinkFollowing more than three years’ construction, Disneyland Paris and Axpo have equipped 11,200 parking spaces at the leading entertainment resort with solar panels, it was announced today. The solar parking canopy, currently the largest of its kind in Europe, will generate 36 GWh of green electricity a year. The project is of strategic significance for Axpo in its development of renewable energies.
LinkAxpo and Rhiienergie are building a hydrogen production facility at the Reichenau hydropower plant in Domat/Ems. The plant is scheduled to go into operation in the fall of 2023 and will produce about 350 tonnes of green hydrogen annually. With the project, Axpo and Rhiienergie are making an important contribution to decarbonisation in Switzerland.
LinkExpanding renewable energies domestically and abroad is an important pillar of the Axpo strategy. After ten years of development, Axpo is integrating the wind and solar business into two in-house divisions to support the ambition of continuing to make a substantial contribution to the expansion of climate-friendly power production. Katja Stommel, CEO of the Axpo subsidiary Volkswind, will become the Head of the new Wind division. Antoine Millioud will take over as the Head of the Solar division. He has also been appointed the CEO of Axpo's subsidiary Urbasolar.
LinkSwitzerland needs more electricity to achieve its climate goals. In order for the expansion of renewable energies to become a reality, we need a clear Yes to the draft of the new electricity law on 9 June. To further strengthen security of supply, Axpo has decided to clarify the technical feasibility of operating the Beznau nuclear power plant beyond 60 years. Axpo has also responded to the federal government’s tender (which ends today) and submitted a project for a reserve power plant for emergencies.
