GP JOULE’s solar system at the Wacken Open Air consists of four standalone Solar-Cubes, which have already been successfully used at multiple festivals and events. These compact power plants harness renewable energy sources and generate green electricity right at the venue. This showcases the potential for utilizing sustainable energy sources everywhere and reducing reliance on conventional electricity.
Festival Band Power Supplied by Green Hydrogen Fuel Cell
The electricity for the band area at the festival is generated from a fuel cell that converts green hydrogen into power. GP JOULE sources the green hydrogen from eFarm, Germany’s largest green hydrogen mobility project, which already supplies cars and public transport buses in Nordfriesland. This partnership allows GP JOULE to utilize sustainable energy at Wacken Open Air and provide green power for the region.
Green hydrogen powers Wacken Open Air with emission-free energy
At the Wacken Open Air, green hydrogen is converted into electricity using the HâGenset by SFC Energy AG. This versatile and portable power generator uses a hydrogen fuel cell to provide emission-free energy. Specifically designed for use in areas without access to the conventional power grid, this innovative generator allows GP JOULE and SFC Energy AG to supply green energy to the festival grounds, showcasing the benefits of the energy transition.
GP JOULE promotes renewable energy at Wacken Open Air
Ove Petersen, co-founder and CEO of GP JOULE, emphasizes that their participation at Wacken Open Air is an opportunity to educate people about the benefits of renewable energy and inspire enthusiasm for the energy transition. By providing green energy sourced locally, GP JOULE is not only fostering acceptance but also generating excitement for sustainable energy projects.
