“With our partnership with Ørsted we are now able to cover 100% of our electricity from wind power, another huge milestone in our efforts to become a sustainable business.” -Stefano Agostini, CEO for Nestlé UK and Ireland.
Nestlé’s UK subsidiary has signed a 15-year corporate power purchase agreement (PPA) to buy green power from energy firm Ørsted’s Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm. Under the deal, Nestlé UK will buy 31MW of the wind farm’s total 573MW capacity, making it Ørsted’s largest fixed-price corporate PPA in the UK.
From 1 May 2020, Nestlé UK will start purchasing 125GWh of green power per year from the wind farm – equivalent to 50% of its power consumption. When combined with the company’s existing PPAs, all of the firm’s power consumption will reportedly be covered by renewable energy agreements.
