Sainsbury’s signs PPA with Capital Dynamics’ 34 MW Pines Burn Wind Farm

Sainsbury’s has signed a 15-year Purchase Power Agreement (PPA) with Capital Dynamics to procure 100% of the electricity generated by the newly operational 33.6 MW Pines Burn Wind Farm Located in Scotland, UK.

Pines Burn Wind Farm features seven high-efficiency turbines that are expected to generate around 92,000 MWh of clean, renewable electricity annually. This is equivalent enough to continuously power over 1.7 million standard LED lightbulbs or provide electricity for around 3 million charging sessions at Sainsbury's ultra-rapid EV charging service, Smart Charge. The electricity supplied from Pines Burn will meet approximately 8% of Sainsbury’s total annual energy needs across the UK.
