☀️ Cargill & Mars partner for Poland’s largest multi-buyer renewable energy deal 🇵🇱 Mars and Cargill have launched a landmark joint venture to develop 224 MWac of new renewable energy capacity in Poland, signing five virtual power purchase agreements (PPAs) with GoldenPeaks Capital - one of Europe’s fastest-growing independent renewable energy producers. 🔋 The projects, facilitated by 3Degrees, are expected to come online in 2027, generating enough clean energy to power ~200,000 households annually. This marks the largest multi-buyer renewable energy agreement in Poland and Central-Eastern Europe (CEE) - a region still relying heavily on carbon-intensive grids. “By aggregating with our supplier, we gained scale and delivered a huge win for both of our organizations,” said Kevin Rabinovitch, Global VP Sustainability at Mars. “Beyond lowering procurement costs and reducing emissions, this deepens our commercial relationship,” added Christina Yagjian, Senior Director, Global Renewable Energy at Cargill. This initiative shows how supplier–customer partnerships can drive emissions reductions across the value chain, creating a replicable model for the wider food and agriculture sector. 🌍 #Cargill #Mars #Poland #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #PPA #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #FoodIndustry #ClimateAction https://lnkd.in/dpvUsvd3
