15-year long-term contract with Spain's BRUC, supporting RE100 implementation at Hungarian battery factory

Schneider Electric's consulting division supported Samsung SDI in executing a large-scale renewable energy procurement contract to decarbonize its European manufacturing operations. This transaction utilizes Spanish solar assets to meet the renewable energy demand of the battery production facility in Hungary, featuring a cross-border procurement structure that is drawing attention as a method for global manufacturers to implement RE100.

Schneider Electric Advisory Services announced on the 6th that it supported Samsung SDI and Spanish renewable energy developer BRUC in executing a solar virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) of 84.19MW capacity.

The contract term is 15 years, with renewable energy supply commencing in January 2027.

The expected annual supply volume is approximately 200,000 MWh, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 55,000 households in Europe.

Supporting RE100 implementation at Samsung SDI Hungary operations

This VPPA was executed for the purpose of renewable energy procurement for Samsung SDI's Hungarian battery production facility.

Samsung SDI stated that through this contract, the company has secured a long-term and stable renewable energy supply foundation and will be able to manage volatility in renewable energy certificate pricing and procurement risks.

A Samsung SDI official stated, "By securing a long-term renewable energy source, we will strengthen the sustainable operational foundation of our Hungarian operations and continue to expand our efforts to achieve our RE100 targets."

Cross-border procurement structure and advisory role

Schneider Electric Advisory Services provided consulting throughout the entire transaction process, including renewable energy market analysis, procurement strategy development, commercial negotiation, and contract advisory.

The company completed the transaction over approximately 2.5 years through collaboration with stakeholders located in Korea, Hungary, and Spain.

Fabien Chen, Head of Europe Sustainability Business at Schneider Electric Advisory Services, stated, "For companies pursuing both expanded production capacity and climate goals simultaneously, securing renewable energy of appropriate scale and in suitable markets is becoming increasingly important."

Luis Venero, CEO of BRUC, stated, "This partnership demonstrates BRUC's commitment to accelerating the transition to a more sustainable energy system, while also providing an important foundation for our long-term business development."
