Food packaging firm Faerch has signed of a new 10-year PPA with Eurowind Energy to supply 70,000MWh of green electricity annually from the forthcoming Novogrodek wind energy park in Poland.
This volume of green energy corresponds to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 17.500 Danish households, Eurowind said.
Tom Sand-Kristensen, group chief financial officer at Faerch, said: “With this PPA with Eurowind Energy, Faerch will benefit from a reliable source of renewable power, helping us reduce our carbon footprint and support the energy transition in Poland.
“By securing renewable energy for our operations, we are enhancing the sustainability of our Polish sites while contributing to the increase of renewable energy in the Polish grid.
“The agreement also marks another significant step in our Renewable Energy Strategy, which aims to power all our facilities with additional renewable energy through PPAs.”
With the new wind PPA adding to the existing Polish solar PPA, more than 85% of Faerch’s electricity consumption in Poland will come from renewable energy sources by 2027.
Jesper Schaumburg-Düring, commercial director at Eurowind Energy, said: “Faerch exemplifies how the procurement of green electricity can be a simple yet impactful strategy for companies striving for climate neutrality.
“We are dedicated to expanding our green energy portfolio through numerous upcoming projects, positioning ourselves as a preferred partner for visionary companies like Faerch that prioritize ambitious climate objectives.”
The Novogrodek park is currently in the pre-construction phase. The turbines for the park have been commissioned from Vestas and are expected to be in operation by early 2027.
