Falck Renewables S.p.A. has signed a Corporate Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) between its subsidiary Brattmyrliden Vind AB – owning a wind farm under construction in Sweden – and Ball Corporation, the global aluminum packaging provider.
The contract, whose duration is 10 years, will provide for the coverage of around 70% of the electricity produced by the wind farm. The VPPA signed will address approximately 39% of Ball’s electricity load for its beverage packaging plants in Europe, excluding Russia, from 2021.
The Brattmyrliden wind farm (74.1 MW), which is expected to start commercial operations in the last quarter of 2020, is located in the municipality of Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. When in operation, the wind farm is expected to generate up to 263.5 GWh of electricity yearly, which is equivalent to the amount of energy necessary to supply around 52,700 homes.
