Better Energy has signed a PPA with Scan Global Logistics to offtake energy from a Swedish solar site.
The PPA will see the global freight forwarder contribute to establishing a new solar park near Studsvik and purchase renewable energy for its Swedish offices and warehouses.
Martin Andersen, global head of sustainability & ESG at Scan Global Logistics, said: “This PPA with Better Energy to source renewable energy for our facilities in Sweden is an important part of our sustainability strategy and allows us to contribute to the green transition.
“We’re pleased to extend our partnership into Sweden as this will be the second Better Energy solar park from which we’re offtaking renewable energy from.”
The PPA contributes to establishing a new 23-hectare solar park near Studsvik in Sweden.
With an annual production capacity of 25GWh of renewable energy, the park will be able to produce enough green electricity to cover the consumption of over 4,000 Swedish homes.
By the estimated grid connection in late 2024, the solar park is expected to be among the largest in Sweden.
The PPA for Studsvik builds on the existing partnership between the two companies.
Mikkel Thorup, senior director of PPAs at Better Energy, said: “It is great to see that our partnership with Scan Global Logistics in Denmark has resulted in welcoming them as a PPA partner in Sweden.
“The green transition requires companies of all sizes and varying energy requirements to decide to purchase the greenest form of electricity.
“Whether it is in Denmark, Sweden or any of the markets, we’re striving to offer a practical and attractive solution to our partners.”
