This agreement is part of a roll-out plan to achieve
Heineken’s net zero ambition.
The supply of renewable, affordable, and reliable energy to
the Lagos Brewery is another bold step that takes the company closer to
becoming carbon-neutral by 2030.
“We are proud of the work we have been doing and look
forward to the collaboration. We started at a small level in Ibadan and moved
to Enugu. Now, we are doing it bigger at the heart of Lagos,” Agressi said.
According to him, Daystar will provide the Lagos Brewery
with a 4.2MWp solar PV plant and 2MW/2 MWh BESS, with the plant supplying
approximately 20% of the brewery’s total electricity requirement at a
significant discount to the current cost of power and reducing the site’s CO2
emissions by about 57 kilo tons of CO2 over the 15-year duration of power
purchase agreement.
The development and construction of the renewable facilities
will be fully financed by Daystar, while the facility’s operation will be
handled by NB Plc and the energy company as part of the multi-year solar power
purchase agreement.
In his remarks during the contract signing ceremony, Chief Executive Officer, Daystar Energy Power Solutions, Jasper Hardenberg, stated that the agreement signing represents the company’s readiness to support Nigerian Breweries Plc in achieving its sustainability goals by providing custom-made energy solutions.
