Mercedes-Benz announced an expansion of its green electricity portfolio, with plans to build a wind farm at its test track in Papenburg, Germany. The wind farm will have an output of more than 100 MW, covering more than 15% of the company’s annual electricity demand in Germany. The new plans follow a series of announcements made by the company at its ESG conference earlier this year, including a goal to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per passenger car by more than 50% by 2030, alongside initiatives to expand solar and wind energy at its own locations and to increase the use of power purchase agreements.
