Thyssenkrupp Steel is powered by wind energy!

Thyssenkrupp Steel's plant in Hagen (Tyssenkrupp Hohenlimburg), one of Germany's leading industrial companies, has been connected directly to a wind farm - a first in the country. According to the company, this innovative step is an important milestone towards sustainable energy utilisation in industrial plants.

Thyssenkrupp Steel is powered by wind energy!

In partnership with SL NaturEnergie, four new wind turbines were installed. These turbines cover 40 per cent of the company's average annual electricity demand, resulting in significant energy savings. Mona Neubaur, Minister of Economy, Industry, Climate Protection and Energy of North Rhine-Westphalia, said that the inauguration of the wind farm was a major step towards the transformation towards climate-friendly industry. ‘For the first time, locally produced green wind energy will be supplied directly to an industrial site. I believe that this innovative project will have a significant impact and set a good example for other industrial companies.’

The green power project at the Thyssenkrupp Hohenlimburg plant has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by 11 per cent in the first phase and offers scope for further expansion. Four wind turbines, each 160 metres high and with a rotor diameter of 138 metres, are connected to the factory via a 3-kilometre-long line. The wind farm generates more than 55 million kWh of energy per year, most of which is utilised directly without being dependent on the national grid. The surplus energy is supplied to the group's other facilities via the public grid in the event of high wind speeds or reduced demand in operation.

Klaus Schulze Langenhorst, founder and managing director of SL NaturEnergie, emphasised that the Hoenlemburg project is a pilot project and that they would like to see this model become a standard in Germany, but that the current energy legislation still contains many obstacles and therefore needs further political decisions.

Thyssenkrupp Steel's Hagen plant, which employs 1,000 people, produces HRC. The company's customers include CRC producers, the automotive industry and its suppliers, sawmills and agricultural machinery manufacturers.
