The industrial group Husky Technologies has just signed a 20-year contract with Enerdeal for the construction of a 2 MWP solar carport in Dudelange. A supplier of renewable energy solutions operating notably in Belgium and Luxembourg, Enerdeal has been integrated into the EDP Group--an expert in decentralised solar production--since 2023.

A solar carport is a structure that involves installing solar panels on the roof covering a car park, enabling the production of clean energy. In Husky’s case, more than 4,000 panels will be installed, allowing the company to directly consume the electricity produced, thus supporting its sustainable development objectives.

Financed and operated by Enerdeal under a “solar-as-a-service” model, the project allows Husky to benefit from green electricity without mobilising capital. The supplier takes care of everything: initial investment, installation, operation and maintenance throughout the duration of the contract. The profits generated will then be shared between the two parties.

“The solar-as-a-service financing model allows our customers to quickly deploy renewable energy solutions, thus meeting profitability and sustainability objectives,” emphasises Enerdeal country manager François Neu.

Nearly 1,000 tonnes of CO2 avoided each year

The carport is expected to be operational by the end of 2025. It will avoid the annual emission of approximately 926 tonnes of CO2, equivalent to the energy consumption of more than 500 households. The project also complies with increasingly stringent regulatory requirements for sustainable energy in the industrial sector.

“Integrating renewable energy solutions is a key step in reducing our carbon footprint,” says Husky CEO Brad Selleck. “This solar carport project is part of our long-term vision of environmental responsibility and energy efficiency.”

With this project, Enerdeal has installed nearly 300 MWP of industrial solar energy in Luxembourg and Belgium.
