CCEP joined the global RE100 initiative back in 2021 when it made a commitment to power its Australian operations with 100 per cent renewable electricity by the end of 2025
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) will meet its target to use 100 per cent renewable electricity across its Australian operations by 1 January 2025, one year ahead of schedule. The achievement will be made possible thanks to the signing of a new Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) provided by global renewable energy player, ENGIE.
CCEP joined the global RE100 initiative in 2021 when it committed to power its Australian operations with 100 per cent renewable electricity by the end of 2025. The company has since supercharged its efforts, investing in rooftop solar panels at its production sites around Australia and securing several key power purchase agreements.
This latest 10-year agreement with ENGIE, will enable CCEP to secure the remaining energy needed to fulfil its RE100 commitment; a major milestone on the company’s journey towards net zero.
Orlando Rodriguez, Managing Director at CCEP Australia explained:
“As the maker and distributor of some of the world’s most popular beverages, we have set ambitious targets to reduce our carbon footprint and environmental impact. To reach our renewable electricity goal in Australia, we have engaged in strategic power purchase agreements and made the most of our rooftop real estate with solar panels at many of our facilities across the country.”
