AGC has taken a first step towards producing green electricity by operating wind turbines. In 2021, the first wind turbine of the group was built together with the electricity company Luminus on AGC's Seneffe site in Belgium.
At the Seneffe site, the wind turbine Enercon E92, 150m high with a capacity of 2.35 MW, has generated more than 4.25 GWh of green electricity in 2022. Most of this green electricity has been consumed on site by AGC, the rest being injected into the network. As a result, close to 1,200 tonnes of CO2 were saved in 2022.
