Almac Group’s power purchase agreement for renewable energy goes live

Almac will reduce carbon emissions from electricity consumed at Craigavon headquarters by 95% through wind power purchase agreement

Almac Group has announced that it is now actively sourcing electricity generated by the newly constructed Murley wind farm, located in Co. Tyrone, as part of their 15-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA), which was signed earlier this year.  The agreement will reduce carbon emissions by over 95% from electricity consumed at Almac’s Global HQ in Craigavon, as almost all of the site’s electricity will ultimately be generated by the windfarm.

Almac’s share of the wind project will deliver 34GWh of renewable electricity annually. Murley, owned by NTR Renewable Energy Income Fund II, is a 21.6MW windfarm with six wind turbines.

This reduction in Almac’s carbon footprint represents a significant step in the Group’s progress towards its carbon reduction goals.

“We are delighted that this project is now operational and that our Craigavon site is now being powered with fully certified electricity from renewable energy,” said Niall Harkin, Executive Director, Almac Group. “This project is a crucial step on our journey to net zero and will significantly reduce carbon emissions from the electricity we consume.

“I am hugely encouraged by the progress that we are making on our climate journey and proud to mark this significant milestone we announce today.”
