Australia: bp to power station network in New South Wales with renewable energy
bp’s 88 service stations across the state are expected to be supplied by 100% renewables from January 2023, as a result of a PPA with Snowy Hydro.
Lightsource bp will power with renewable energy all its service stations throughout the state of New South Wales, Australia, as a result of a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Snowy Hydro, the fourth largest energy retailer in the Australian National Electricity Market.
bp’s 88 service stations across New South Wales are expected to be supplied by 100% renewables from January 2023, according to a press release.
The PPA will enable the construction of a 107MWdc solar farm in West Wyalong, New South Wales. Under this arrangement, Snowy Hydro will purchase two-thirds of the 238,000MWh generated annually from the solar farm through a 15-year PPA, and will in turn supply 23,000MWh of renewable energy annually, through is retailer Red Energy, to bp for 10 years to meet the power requirements of all its service stations.
Lightsource bp has secured a contract with an EPC company and is now working to bring the project portfolio to financial close.
