SAINT-GOBAIN SIGNS RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
Saint-Gobain has signed a renewable electricity purchase agreement with TotalEnergies for 60 GWh per year to supply the Group’s industrial sites in the United Kingdom (UK). The agreement will take effect in April 2027 for a period of five years.
This contract, the first of its kind in the country, marks an important milestone in Saint-Gobain’s decarbonization strategy, covering more than 20% of its annual electricity consumption in the UK under a long-term commitment directly backed by guarantees of origin from local renewable assets while contributing to its operational performance. Saint-Gobain has already been purchasing certified renewable electricity since 2016 in the UK, covering 100% of its operational usage in the country.
“Saint-Gobain is committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Delivering on this ambition requires the decarbonization of our production processes around the world. Thanks to this agreement, Saint-Gobain in the UK is taking a major step forward towards this objective with a reliable and continuous supply of renewable electricity,” said David Molho, Senior Vice-President, CEO Northern Europe Region.
In 2025, decarbonized electricity represented 70% of Saint-Gobain’s global electricity consumption, compared with 39% in 2021. The Group has signed 25 major decarbonized electricity supply agreements across 15 countries. Saint-Gobain is also the only plasterboard manufacturer with plants operating entirely on renewable electricity in Norway and Canada.
