SGL Carbon expands photovoltaic capacity at its Ort im Innkreis site 2026/07/23 Another step toward a sustainable energy supply: PV carports at the Austrian site go into operation Installation of charging stations for employees' electric vehicles Company Sustainability Fiber Composites SGL Carbon has further expanded its photovoltaic capacity at its Ort im Innkreis site in Austria. With the commissioning of new PV carports, the site's solar system capacity has increased to approximately 870 kilowatt-peak (kWp). The new carports contribute an additional 252 kWp to the company's own power generation, combining sustainable energy production with practical benefits for employees. Implemented in collaboration with energy partner VERBUND, Austria's leading energy company, the project is part of SGL Carbon's ongoing efforts to expand renewable energy use at its sites and support its energy-related sustainability goals. The new carports generate environmentally friendly solar power and protect parked vehicles from direct sunlight in the summer and from snow and harsh weather conditions in the winter. Additionally, ten electric vehicle charging stations have been installed on site. This allows employees to charge their vehicles in the parking lot, making it easier to incorporate sustainable mobility into their daily lives. "With the new PV carports, we're combining environmental responsibility with tangible benefits for our employees," says Robert Hütter, site manager at Ort im Innkreis. "We're expanding local renewable energy generation while offering our employees concrete added value in their daily lives." With the expansion of the PV system, SGL Carbon continues on its path of increasing its use of renewable energy. This will help to further reduce the company's carbon footprint and ensure a sustainable energy supply.
