Local businesses across the Northern Beaches are invited to join a new Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to reduce their carbon emissions and save on power bills. Council has appointed Business Green Energy to broker a 100% renewable electricity PPA.
Northern Beaches Mayor Michael Regan said there had already been strong interest from local businesses to be involved in the PPA.
“Our recent webinar was well attended with over 40 organisations joining the discussion. By popular demand, a second webinar will be held in May to explain how the PPA works and what benefits it can bring to local businesses,” Mayor Regan said.
There are more than 32,700 businesses across the Northern Beaches and their emissions account for 37% of the area’s overall carbon emissions. More than 70% of these emissions are from electricity.
The PPA is suitable for businesses with high electricity usage (over 100MWh/Year), or an approximate energy spend of more than $32,000. Smaller businesses are also invited to register their interest.
