Virtual power purchase agreement advances Kraft
Heinz toward global environmental stewardship goal of procuring
majority of electricity from renewable energy sources by 2025
The Kraft Heinz Company (Nasdaq: KHC) (“Kraft Heinz” or the
“Company”) today announced a 12-year virtual power purchase
agreement (“vPPA”) with Repsol, a global multi-energy company
operating across more than 20 countries and based in Madrid, Spain.
This agreement is the Company’s first investment in wind energy and
is designed to help Kraft Heinz achieve its aspiration of procuring
the majority of its electricity from renewable sources by 2025.
Kraft Heinz is expected to source over 90 gigawatt hours/year of
renewable energy from Spanish producer Repsol’s largest wind
project, Delta II (Aragon, Spain) – equivalent to powering
approximately 90 percent of Kraft Heinz’s European manufacturing
sites, which is the majority of its European load.
The vPPA is expected to generate enough renewable electricity to
power approximately 25,000 average EU households per year at its
peak.
“Our agreement with Repsol is a significant step in our efforts
to reduce the impact of climate change,” said Rafael Oliveira,
Executive Vice President and President, International Markets at
Kraft Heinz. “I am proud of this investment in our International
Zone, which we expect to contribute to our global goal of achieving
net zero emissions by 2050, and reducing 50 percent of our
emissions by 2030, while also helping our industry make the
transition to renewable power.”
In 2021, Kraft Heinz announced its goal to achieve net zero
greenhouse gas emissions across its operational footprint (Scope 1
and Scope 2) and entire global supply chain (Scope 3) by 2050,
reaffirming its commitment to contribute to global efforts to
reduce the ongoing threat of climate change.
"This agreement with Kraft Heinz confirms once again the
potential and attractiveness of our renewable assets for companies
that are looking for guaranteed coverage of their long-term energy
needs and, at the same time, obtain greater stability, which favors
their competitiveness," said João Costeira, Repsol's Executive
Director of Low Carbon Generation.
In December 2019, Repsol was the first company in its sector to
make a commitment to be carbon neutral by 2050. Renewable power
generation is one of the pillars of Repsol's decarbonization
strategy: the targets of the company are 20 gigawatts (“GW”) of
installed capacity by 2030 and 6 GW by 2025.
