Orora finds going green a breeze
ORORA will source almost all of its electricity from wind power as of next year, thanks to a pow- er purchase agreement with the Lal Lal wind farm.
When combined with the Clements Gap wind farm in South Australia (see PKN March-April 2018) Lal Lal will enable Orora to obtain 80 per cent of its total energy require- ments from renewable sources.
This is increasingly impor- tant for the company, accord- ing to Nigel Garrard, managing director and CEO of Orora.
“Orora is a strong supporter of renewable energy in Austra- lia and the 10 year power pur- chasing agreement with the Lal Lal wind farm provides our business with greater price certainty over the long term,” he said. “To our knowledge,
IN BRIEF
this is one of the first base load renewable deals in Australia.”
The Lal Lal project, slated for completion in 2018, will com- prise two sites at Elaine and Yendon in Victoria.
The power purchase agree- ment will allow Orora to lock in the cost of attaining base- load green energy.
At Orora’s recent innovation expo, the company also showcased sustainability initiatives.
“Energy price certainty and continuity of supply is a criti- cal consideration for an energy intensive business like Orora,” said Garrard.
“Renewable energy repre- sents a competitively priced and sustainable energy source that will safeguard supply for our Australian operations.” ■
