Securing our first off-site Power Purchasing Agreement

We have signed a ten-year contract to power our Fredericia brewery in Denmark with electricity from a new solar farm, expected to be operational from 2024.

The agreement with Better Energy – our first off-site PPA – will support development of a new 70-hectare solar park covering the equivalent of 105 football pitches. Once constructed, it will produce enough new green energy to meet the average electricity consumption of 46,000 Danes. We will purchase a
substantial share – 29 GWh – from the solar farm each year over a ten-year period.

 

"Carlsberg has extensive production in Denmark, and it’s a great step to ensure that it’s powered by locally produced, new green power. It’s both
imperative and powerful when big ambitions for green transformation are followed up by concrete actions. Carlsberg has made an active choice to buy new green power, and in doing so has directly accelerated the
green transition in Denmark and Europe."

Regular short journeys between breweries and nearby warehouses provide an excellent setting for electric vehicles because trucks can recharge as they wait.
