Major second notes1/14/2024 ![]() "I’m pleased Vodafone is helping to progress the development of new renewable power sites and supporting the delivery of green energy to the UK grid. Today’s announcement ensures a significant proportion of our energy requirement, for at least the next 10 years, is home-grown in the UK.” Combined with two onshore wind farms, in Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire, Vodafone UK has secured access to renewable power from 10 sites across the UK.Īhmed Essam, UK CEO, Vodafone, said: “The energy crisis has highlighted we must work together – as governments, businesses and society – to change how we produce and consume energy. The first of these is now fully operational with the others to follow in the coming months. Today’s news follows an announcement last year to purchase a significant proportion of power from three new UK solar farms for the supply of 109 GWh of renewable electricity. Power Purchase Agreements are key to Vodafone’s renewable energy procurement strategy. The deal, between Vodafone, Centrica as the power supplier and MYTILINEOS as the generator, supports the UK government’s ambition to focus on home-grown, clean and more affordable energy and so boost long-term energy independence and security. Today’s announcement ensures a significant proportion of our energy requirement, for at least the next 10 years, is home-grown in the UK." "The energy crisis has highlighted we must work together – as governments, businesses and society – to change how we produce and consume energy. The remainder will be sold through Centrica’s Energy Marketing & Trading business. Vodafone will purchase a significant proportion of the electricity output from the solar farms, securing their development and bringing additional renewable power provision to the UK grid. Construction will begin this year with energy generation expected from early 2024. The five solar farms, located in Norfolk, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire, Buckinghamshire and Dorset, will generate a total of 216GWh of electricity and displace more than 53,000 tonnes of CO 2e - every year 1, the equivalent of taking around 31,400 cars off the road 2. Combined with agreements already in place, this new solar PPA means around 44% of its annual energy requirement will come from UK-based renewable power sources by 2025. Already in the UK, 100% of the grid electricity Vodafone uses is from certified renewable sources. ![]() The deal gives Vodafone UK access to clean, high quality and affordable renewable electricity for the next ten years, offering price certainty and improved energy security.
