Osnabrück, November 8, 2023 – The WELLERGRUPPE, one of the largest car dealership groups in Germany, is taking a consistent step towards sustainable energy supply in cooperation with ElectroFleet, a cleantech company and provider of renewable energies. From January 1, 2024, the company will obtain all of its electricity requirements from renewable sources.
ElectroFleet will equip the WELLERGRUPPE sites with PV systems, battery storage systems and transformers and supply the self-generated electricity to the WELLERGRUPPE at a fixed price. The combined area of the PV systems alone is equivalent to around 45 tennis courts. The contract has a term of 20 years.
“Our aim is to help medium-sized companies to control their costs and decarbonize their energy supply at the same time,” emphasized Mark Hellmann Regouby, CEO of ElectroFleet. “Together, WELLERGRUPPE and ElectroFleet are creating the conditions for implementing the energy transition: 20 years of fixed prices, tenfold grid connection, 100% renewable supply.”
“Our decision to work with ElectroFleet was a logical step in our sustainability strategy. Our goal is to work as climate-neutrally as possible. Through our partnership with ElectroFleet, we will save 3,582.34 tons of CO2 per year in the final stage! We are proud to be part of this forward-looking initiative and to make an active contribution to the energy transition,” says Burkhard Weller, shareholder and CEO of the WELLERGRUPPE.
Jörg Hübener, Financial Managing Director of WELLERGRUPPE, added: “This partnership paves the way for us to make a rapid transition to the sale of electric vehicles. We are excited about the positive effects that will result from this collaboration.”
ElectroFleet has set up a virtual power plant (VPP) to intelligently control electricity generation, consumption, storage and trading. With this collaboration, ElectroFleet and the WELLERGRUPPE are demonstrating their commitment to the energy transition and reaffirming their position as pioneers in sustainable energy solutions.
