Case Study Spotlight: The Benefits of Green Steel Procurement in Solar

Blog,

Nextpower is leading the solar industry’s transition toward low-carbon manufacturing through its proactive approach to green steel procurement. Recognizing that steel is a major contributor to its Scope 3 emissions, Nextpower has taken strategic steps to reduce the carbon footprint embedded in its supply chain. This includes prioritizing steel sourced from Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) processes, which rely on recycled materials, resulting in significantly lower emissions compared to traditional blast furnace methods. Nextpower in collaboration with leading decarbonization partners across the steel industry, has launched the Low Carbon Tracker, the industry’s first solar tracker solution designed with a reduced carbon footprint. By staying ahead of regulatory and market expectations, Nextpower is not only driving its own sustainability goals but also enabling its customers to meet theirs. This case demonstrates how supply chain collaboration and early adoption of emerging low-carbon technologies can create scalable climate impact. Click here to read the full case study. *

The Nextpower case study was submitted to the SPLC Leadership Awards program, and was awarded the 2025 SPLC Leadership Award for Special Initiative. Visit the SPLC website for more information on the Leadership Awards Program.
