Two-Thirds of Stellantis Plants in Europe Equipped with Solar Power Stations

Stellantis is accelerating the implementation of renewable energy production and storage solutions within its European manufacturing network, moving towards its long-term goal of achieving carbon neutrality.

European Stellantis manufacturing sites now source 68% of their electricity from renewable sources. The company aims for its own electricity consumption at its facilities to reach 31% of the total energy consumed at European plants by 2026, with leading factories planning to achieve an 80% target.

Stellantis's approach to energy consumption management is supported by a robust management system, with 89% of its European manufacturing sites certified to ISO 50001 standards for energy management.

Expansion of photovoltaic system installation projects at its own sites across Europe.

To date, photovoltaic system installation projects have been completed or are underway at 27 European Stellantis manufacturing sites, representing over 500 MW of installed capacity. At sites like Tychy (Poland), self-consumption could reach around 60% by the end of 2026. In Zaragoza (Spain), where a hybrid system combining photovoltaic energy and on-site wind turbines is already operational, self-consumption could rise to 80%.

Implementation of battery-based energy storage systems to optimize energy consumption and balance the energy grid.
Alongside the deployment of photovoltaic systems, Stellantis is implementing battery energy storage systems (BESS) to further optimize energy consumption and support grid stability at its manufacturing sites.

The BESS program will cover 20 manufacturing sites across Europe with a total installed storage capacity of approximately 200 MWh and will be executed in two phases. The first phase is already at an advanced stage, with BESS systems expected to be operational at seven facilities by 2026, and deployment at the remaining sites planned to be completed within three years.

They are managed by advanced energy management systems (EMS), which dynamically optimize battery operation based on energy availability and demand, enhancing overall efficiency. At power plants equipped with photovoltaic generation installations, energy storage systems also maximize self-consumption of solar energy by storing excess energy.

Additionally, these installations can provide services to the electricity grid in collaboration with local grid operators, helping to maintain grid stability by adjusting consumption as needed. At the Stellantis Madrid site in Spain, a battery-based energy storage system is already operational and serves as a pilot plant for scaling and standardizing this solution.

By combining renewable energy production with energy storage systems, Stellantis reaffirms its commitment to sustainable manufacturing, reducing CO₂ emissions, and enhancing energy resilience while decreasing exposure to energy market volatility.

Diversification of the energy balance enhances resilience and competitiveness.
These initiatives complement other energy contracts and decarbonization measures already launched by Stellantis as part of its global operations. Together, they represent a concrete step towards the long-term sustainability of the industry and reflect the company's broader approach to energy transformation, which combines energy efficiency with the implementation of decarbonization solutions across its manufacturing base.

Furthermore, Stellantis is expanding the use of geothermal energy as a low-carbon solution for industrial heating and cooling. The geothermal installation at the site in Caen, France, which was commissioned last year, is Stellantis's first in the world and one of the first industrial applications of this technology in the country. The system provides renewable heat for buildings and cooling for industrial processes, allowing the facility to autonomously cover about 30% of its energy needs.

At several manufacturing sites, biomass solutions are also being implemented to reduce carbon dioxide emissions during the heating of industrial facilities. These include Rennes (France), where a zero-emission heating network based on local biomass was launched in 2025, as well as Sochaux and Vesoul (France), Trnava (Slovakia), and Kragujevac (Serbia), where biomass-based solutions are being implemented.
