Sydney-based Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) has signed a 10-year Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) brokered by French utility Engie.

Under the VPPA, CCEP will purchase a percentage of renewable energy and associated renewable energy credits (RECs) from the newly constructed Wellington North Solar Farm (WNSF), owned by UK-based Lightsource bp.

CCEP has also invested in rooftop solar panels at its manufacturing facilities across Australia and signed several key power purchase agreements.

CCEP Australia managing director Orlando Rodriguez said the company had set a number of ambitious goals to reduce its carbon footprint and environmental impact.

“To achieve our renewable energy target in Australia, we have entered into strategic power purchase agreements and maximised roof space by installing solar panels on many of our sites across the country,” Rodriguez said.
