Producing sustainable tires with on-site solar

Goodyear Luxembourg signs agreement to implement two solar projects at its facilities.

Enerdeal (Belgian solar energy equipment supplier) will implement two solar projects, comprising a 5 MWp rooftop installation and a 2 MWp carport system at the the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s (American multinational tire manufacturer) facilities in Luxembourg.

Under the terms of the 20-year agreement, the solar distributed generation projects will be implemented in the “as-a-service” model, where 100% of the investment is secured by EDP, and the financial benefits of the installation are shared between the companies.

The energy generated from these projects, totaling an estimated 6 500 MWh annually, will be consumed onsite at Goodyear. Overall, this initiative is projected to save approximately 3,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, underscoring both companies’ dedication to decarbonisation and environmental stewardship.
