Viva Energy has signed a new 10-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with renewable energy generator ACCIONA Energia.
According to the company, the deal is the largest electricity and environmental certificate contract completed by Viva Energy. The PPA involves renewable electricity generated from the Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm near Colac, Victoria.
The agreement provides a substantial quantity of Viva Energy’s power requirements from ACCIONA Energia’s operating wind farm assets and will assist Viva Energy in meeting its group-wide emission-reduction ambitions.
Viva Energy Chief Business Development and Sustainability Officer Lachlan Pfeiffer says he is delighted to continue the long and productive relationship between Viva Energy and ACCIONA Energia.
“Viva Energy signed its first PPA agreement with ACCIONA Energia back in 2019, helping to support and establish the development of renewable energy in the Geelong region,” he says.
“This new agreement provides both substantial power supply and LGCs to Viva Energy, supporting our ambition to reduce scope 2 emissions across our various businesses as well as providing a long-term commitment to local renewable energy generation in the greater Geelong region.”
This PPA with ACCIONA Energia complements another renewable energy PPA with CleanCo Queensland which provides the power for over 110 Coles Express sites in Queensland.
