It is a significant step towards our 2030 target of procuring all our electricity from new renewable energy assets via Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
The PPA with Better Energy enabled the development of a new solar farm of more than 70 hectares. Over ten years, we have agreed to source 29 GWh from the solar farm per year – the equivalent of the annual energy consumption of around 46,000 Danes.
In 2024, the solar farm in Fraugde in Funen was connected to the grid, powering our brewery in Fredericia while also adding more renewable power to the Danish electricity grid.
Regular short journeys between breweries and nearby warehouses provide an excellent setting for electric vehicles because trucks can recharge as they wait.
As part of our work towards a ZERO Carbon Footprint, we joined forces with other leading beverage brands in 2024 to launch the REfresh Alliance. By working together and pooling resources, we are aiming to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy across the supply chain and support the industry’s transition to Net Zero.
It takes almost three times as much thermal power as electricity to produce our beer. But solutions for renewable heat are not yet widely available.
