Renewable energy
At Amokabel, we practice responsible entrepreneurship, which means continuously being aware of how our operations affect society and the environment. This approach is closely linked to sustainable development – balancing economic growth with environmental and social responsibility. Our goal is to create value for our customers and stakeholders while minimizing our negative impact on the world around us.
A clear example of this commitment is our long-term focus on renewable energy. For many years, the Amo Group has systematically worked to ensure that as much of our electricity as possible comes from renewable sources.
Today, about 90 percent of the world’s energy still comes from fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and gas. When these fuels are burned, carbon dioxide is released, contributing to the harmful greenhouse effect.
Since 2004, Amokabel has pursued a defined strategy: to produce as much renewable electricity, certified as "Good Environmental Choice," as our factory consumes. We have successfully achieved this goal every year since the decision was made – demonstrating our lasting commitment to a sustainable future.
Hydroelectric
In 2004, we bought a hydropower station in Alstermo that consists of two turbines. Total power output is 460kW and the plant has a height drop of 12 meters. Annually, it generates 2,000,000 kWh. We bought a second hydropower station in Uvafors in 2006, it is located between Uvasjön in Fröseke and Hinsjön in Alsterbro and also consists of two turbines, with a total of 410kW. It generates 1,500,000 kWh / year.

Wind power
We bought our first wind turbine in 2009 which is located in Listerlandet near Lörby outside Sölvesborg. It is an 800kW Enercon wind turbine and it produces 1,800,000kWh annually. Our second wind turbine was put into operation in 2017 and is located closer to the factory, more specifically in Hageskruv, which is 12 km from our location in Alstermo. This wind turbine generates 1,300,000 kWh annually.

Solar power
In 2015, we took the decision to complement our energy production with solar energy. The plant contains 928 panels each 1600x950mm in size. The total panel area is 1500m2 and the total roof area used is 2500m2. The maximum production of the plant is 240,000 kWh / year. In 2020, we added more solar panels, and these together generate approximately 940,000 kWh / year.
Between 2021 and 2023, we expanded the facility with additional solar panels, and in total, these now generate approximately 2,000,000 kWh per year.
