Stellantis ramps up renewable energy use at European factories

Stellantis is accelerating the deployment of on‑site renewable generation and storage across its European production network. The company reports that 68% of the electricity used at its European sites already comes from low‑carbon sources and aims to raise on‑site self‑consumption to 31% by 2026, with some plants targeting up to 80%.

Solar projects are under way at 27 facilities, delivering more than 500 MW of capacity, while battery energy storage systems (BESS) will be installed at 20 sites with a total capacity of around 200 MWh. Partnerships are built on Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), where energy partners design, build and operate the installations before transferring ownership to Stellantis. ISO 50001 energy‑management certification now covers 89% of the European sites.

Specific examples include the Tychy plant in Poland, which could reach about 60% self‑consumption by the end of 2026, and the Zaragoza site in Spain where a hybrid solar‑wind system is expected to deliver up to 80% by year‑end. At the Mangualde factory in Portugal, a 6,370‑panel photovoltaic park already supplies 32% of the plant’s annual electricity demand. When fully operational, the initiatives are projected to cut more than 100,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year.
