A large wine producer, Australian Vintage, is to power its largest site with solar and wind farms. The company signed a hybrid renewable power purchase agreement (PPA) with corporate retailer Flow Power.

Australian Vintage is the country’s third largest wine producer. Its PPA with Flow Power enables the wine company to purchase some of its renewable energy off-site. However, it will also have some solar on-site both on the ground and on its roof tops. In total, the agreement with Flow Power will provide its Buronga Hill winery, NSW, with 90% renewable energy.

But it is just the latest such deal sealed by an Australian business, seeking to lock in lower energy costs by sourcing off-site solar and wind energy. The article referenced below names other Australian businesses that have recently signed similar agreements.
