Magna Exteriors (Bohemia), the Czech unit of Canadian automotive firm Magna International, has signed a 15-year PPA with Czech renewable power developer Woodburn Capital Partners.

The contract relies on a 2.4 MW rooftop PV set up at a Magna Exteriors manufacturing unit in Liberec. The set up of the CZK 52 million ($2.22 million) PV undertaking was subcontracted to Woltair, a Czech photo voltaic and warmth pump specialist, with operations beginning in September 2024.

This is the primary of a number of PPAs that Woodburn Capital Partners expects to finish by the top of 2025, in line with Lucie Kopečková, the corporate’s head of PPA tasks.

“We are actively seeking to introduce PPAs to clients all through the area, together with Bosnia Herzegovina and Croatia,” Kopečková mentioned in a press launch. “Our PPAs might be structured in on-site and off-site renewable power manufacturing within the international locations the place we’re current, whether or not they’re rooftop, or ground-based energy crops.”

The PV plant is predicted to account for 8% of the manufacturing unit’s annual consumption. For Magna Exteriors (Bohemia) this can be a step in the direction of attaining a dedication to make use of 100% renewable power in Europe by 2025 and worldwide by 2030, in line with the corporate’s technical director, Tomáš Radosta.

This is the primary collaboration between Woodburn Capital Partners and Woltair, in line with Daniel Helcl, the founding father of Woltair.
