Kompania Piwowarska SA, owned by Asahi Breweries Europe Group, signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with innogy to switch production to 100% renewable electricity: Kompania Piwowarska’s three Polish breweries will use renewable power produced by innogy’s Polish Nowy Staw wind farm to cover its power needs.
Asahi Breweries Europe Group operates three breweries in Poland – Tyskie Browary Książęce in Tychy, the Dojlidy Brewery in Białystok and Lech Browary Wielkopolski in Poznań – through the local subsidiary Kompania Piwowarska.
The long-term contract will run for 10 years – from 2020 to 2029. From 2020, innogy’s Nowy Staw onshore wind farm close to Gdansk (73 megawatts) will supply 30 GWh (gigawatt hours) annually to Kompania Piwowarska, covering about 40% of the breweries’ electricity needs.
From 2021, it is planned that Nowy Staw will cover 100% of Asahi’s Polish breweries’ power requirements through the planned expansion of the existing wind farm by up to 11 megawatts.
innogy plans to start building the Nowy Staw extension in 2020 and to bring it online in 2021. From then on Nowy Staw will supply up to 80 GWh per year to the three Polish breweries.
