Nexans is on track to transition to 100% electricity coming from renewable sources

To achieve its decarbonization objectives, Nexans has initiated an ambitious approach to execute a Pan-European Virtual PPA* (Power Purchase Agreement) to cover most of its electricity consumption for all its premises in Europe. By executing a Pan-European VPPA, Nexans will be directly involved in financing and realization of new renewable energy assets in the region.

Nexans has appointed World Kinect Energy Services, a subsidiary of World Fuel Services (NYSE, Fortune 125) as an exclusive advisor to support an end-to-end execution process.

World Kinect Energy Services is a global energy management company with 35 years of experience that provides supply fulfillment, portfolio management, energy procurement advisory services, and decarbonization solutions to more than 150,000 commercial and industrial customers, including international brands and local businesses in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.

This partnership with World Kinect involves an end-to-end advisory program in support of Nexans’ decarbonization efforts. This exclusive arrangement helps Nexans reach its RE100 targets while building stakeholder alignment and minimizing market price exposure.

In the coming weeks, Nexans will be consulting the market with the support of World Kinect Energy Services to solicit offers to find the best project that is most matching its needs.

As a key player of sustainable electrification, Nexans has pledged to contribute to carbon neutrality by reducing by 4,2% in average each year its GHG emissions and by transitioning to 100% Renewable Electricity by 2030. In this respect, end of 2020 Nexans joined the Climate Group’s RE100 initiative, which is a global initiative bringing together the world’s most powerful businesses driving the transition to 100% renewable electricity.

* A PPA is a long-term contract to purchase renewable electricity at an agreed price directly from the generator within the framework of a new renewable power asset set in the market.
