From Words to Action: Less Consumption, Zero Diesel, More Control
We don’t install solar panels to tick boxes. We do it because every decision that cuts emissions, improves processes, and gives us more control over our energy brings us closer to the industry we aim to lead.
In 2024, we deployed a photovoltaic self-consumption system at our facilities. This move allowed us to eliminate diesel completely, dismantle the old boiler, and shift fully to electricity. It’s not symbolic. It’s a technical decision that redefines how we operate.
The goal was never to comply—it was to optimize. To reduce energy consumption from conventional sources and consolidate a cleaner, more efficient, and autonomous production model.
European Co-Funding with Real Industrial Impact
This action has been carried out under the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan – Funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU, through the incentive program for self-consumption and energy storage, regulated by Royal Decree 477/2021.
The project has received support from the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (IDAE), the Basque Energy Agency (EVE), and the European Union.
Funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.

What’s Next?
Now we prove that electrifying an industrial plant isn’t just viable—it’s strategic. That producing recycled aluminium without diesel, without losses, and with full energy autonomy is not only possible, but profitable.
This photovoltaic installation is not an isolated effort. It’s part of a broader technical strategy for real decarbonization. A transformation measured by data—not declarations.
Because talking about energy transition without action isn’t our style. We prefer to make it visible.
