GoldenPeaks Capital, a leading investor and operator in renewable energy projects across Europe, has entered into a landmark 10-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with NGK Ceramics Polska. This strategic agreement will provide approximately 125 GWh of carbon-free renewable electricity annually, significantly reducing NGK Ceramics Polska’s carbon footprint in Poland. By virtually supplying clean energy from solar plants located in the same market where NGK operates, this initiative underscores both companies’ commitment to sustainability and decarbonization. The PPA’s impact is substantial—it is equivalent to powering around 60,000 Polish homes each year, reinforcing the growing role of renewable energy in industrial operations. NGK Ceramics Polska, a key global manufacturer of ceramic elements for the automotive industry, specializes in developing advanced pollution-control technologies. One of its flagship products, the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), removes soot and harmful particles from diesel engine exhaust gases, contributing to cleaner air. The company also produces filters for gasoline vehicles, aligning with its long-standing mission of environmental stewardship and innovation in emission reduction. Minoru Shibata, president of NGK Ceramics Polska, stated, “In the current challenging times, VPPAs are one of the measures allowing better control over the company budget and also significantly help to achieve the long-term demanding goals of carbon neutrality. All companies, regardless of their size, should make necessary efforts to improve the environment and contribute to a better life for every person, now and in the future.” Adriano Agosti, founder and chairman of GoldenPeaks Capital, mentioned “We are proud to contribute to the green footprint of NGK Ceramics Polska as a strong international leader in its field. The PPA will empower the company to enhance their share of renewable energy across their operations, contributing to its long-term environmental ambitions.” With sustainability at the core of its business, NGK Ceramics Polska has consistently implemented new technologies aimed at reducing environmental impact. The long-term PPA with GoldenPeaks Capital is a vital step toward achieving these objectives. Over its duration, the agreement is expected to prevent approximately 938,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions, making a tangible contribution to climate change mitigation. The renewable energy generation under this PPA is scheduled to begin in the coming year, marking a significant milestone in Poland’s transition to a greener industrial sector. This collaboration between GoldenPeaks Capital and NGK Ceramics Polska sets a benchmark for corporate sustainability, demonstrating how industry leaders can integrate clean energy solutions to drive long-term environmental and economic benefits. |
