Stellantis ECO Friendly Status
• Decarbonized electricity accounts for 68% of power across European manufacturing operations.
• In 2026, on-site self-consumption is targeted to represent 31% of the energy used by Stellantis’ European plants, with leading sites aiming to reach as high as 80%.
• Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are planned across 20 sites, with seven plants expected to be operational by 2026.

Thus far, photovoltaic [electronic devices that convert sunlight directly into electricity using so-called photovoltaic effects – AutoCrat.] projects have been completed or are underway at 27 European manufacturing sites, representing more than 500 MW of installed capacity. At sites such as Tychy (Poland), self-consumption could reach around 60% by the end of 2026. In Zaragoza (Spain), where a hybrid system combining photovoltaic power and on-site wind turbines is already operating, self-consumption could rise to as much as 80% by year-end.
• Depending on site configuration, the photovoltaic systems are installed on rooftops, parking canopies or ground mounted areas. Once fully operational, they are expected to result in more than 100,000 tons of avoided CO2 emissions per year.

Battery Energy Storage Systems to Optimize Energy Use and Grid Balance

In parallel with photovoltaic deployment, Stellantis is rolling out Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to further optimize energy usage and support grid stability across its manufacturing sites.

• The BESS program will cover 20 manufacturing sites across Europe, with a total installed storage capacity of approximately 200 MWh, rolled out in two phases. The first wave is at an advanced stage, with BESS expected to be operational at seven plants by 2026, while deployment across the remaining sites is planned to be completed within a three year time period.
• These systems are managed by advanced Energy Management Systems (EMS) that dynamically optimize battery operation based on energy availability and demand, improving overall efficiency. At plants equipped with photovoltaic generation, the storage systems also maximize solar self consumption by storing surplus energy.
• In addition, the installations can provide grid services in collaboration with local system operators, helping support grid stability by adjusting consumption when needed. The Stellantis Madrid site in Spain already operates a battery energy storage system and serves as the pilot plant for scaling and standardizing this technical approach.
• By combining renewable energy generation with energy storage, Stellantis is reinforcing its commitment to sustainable manufacturing, reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing energy resilience, while mitigating exposure to energy market volatility.

Diversifying the Energy Mix to Increase Competitiveness

“These initiatives complement other energy contracts and decarbonization actions already launched by Stellantis across its global operations. Together, they represent a concrete step toward long term industrial sustainability and reflect the Company’s broader energy transformation approach, which combines energy efficiency with the deployment of decarbonized solutions across its industrial footprint,” Stellantis said in a release.
