Vattenfall will provide 22GWh of clean electricity annually from its wind farms in the UK to AG Barr.

The 22GWh of electricity supplied to AG Barr sites will be sufficient to power 6,000 UK homes a year.

Vattenfall UK country manager Danielle Lane said: “Our goal is to make fossil-free living possible for our customers and we are delighted to provide AG Barr with a long-term supply of home-grown renewable energy.

“We are seeing more and more companies looking to secure fossil-free power for their business as they work towards net-zero carbon emissions.”

The Swedish power company has set a goal to supply 10TWh of renewable energy to the companies in the form of a long- term CPPA by the end of 2023.

In May 2019, Vattenfall agreed to support Microsoft’s plan to power its new datacentres in Sweden with 100% renewable energy.
