## Decarbonisation that strengthens competitiveness

Aperam's stainless steel plant in Genk faced a dual challenge: structurally high electricity costs eroding margins and ambitious decarbonisation targets requiring action at scale. PerPetum delivered a fully integrated behind-the-meter energy hub, combining rooftop and ground-mounted solar, carport PV and 80+ EV charging points, without any upfront investment or operational burden for Aperam.

### Project Overview

In energy-intensive steel manufacturing, electricity represents a significant share of total production cost. Price volatility, rising grid tariffs and carbon exposure directly threaten competitiveness. Aperam needed a long-term energy strategy that locks in cost predictability, accelerates Scope 1 & 2 reduction, and keeps capital available for core operations, not energy infrastructure.

### The Challenge

Protect high-volume steel production from electricity price swings, growing grid costs and tightening carbon regulation, while preserving CAPEX for core industrial investments and maintaining global competitiveness.

### Our Solution

A tailor-made behind-the-meter ecosystem combining solar across rooftops, ground-mount and carports, orchestrated through advanced forecasting and day-ahead optimisation to maximise self-consumption.

- Rooftop solar across multiple factory buildings
- Ground-mounted PV on available site area
- Carport PV with integrated generation
- 80+ EV charging points for future mobility
- Advanced energy management with day-ahead optimisation

All designed, financed, built and operated by PerPetum under an Energy-as-a-Service model, fully off-balance-sheet.
