Powering the Future: New Gas Turbine Goes into Operation

A strong sign for our Pitten site: with an investment of over €50 million, our new gas-fired power plant is now complete!

The old high-pressure boilers had reached the end of their service life and the coal-fired boiler was also no longer fit for our purpose. With state-of-the-art gas turbines, we can now supply ourselves with 100% of our own electricity and are thus well prepared for volatile market prices. 
Our teams have put more than 10,000 hours of work into this project – a real masterpiece!

We are proud of this project, which secures the future – for us, for Pitten and for a sustainable energy supply.

  • In doing so, we are consistently following our purpose: we live circularity.
  • And we are taking responsibility – for a reliable, sustainable energy supply and for the future of our region.
