  • Iberdrola partners with Tosano to provide long-term clean energy, reducing CO2 emissions by 6,000 tonnes per year. Off-site PPA agreements ensure stable prices and eliminate fossil fuel volatility.

Iberdrola has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Italian supermarket chain Tosano to supply it with long-term clean energy. The off-site deal guarantees the supply of clean energy for 10 years through an Iberdrola solar PV system. Under the agreement, Iberdrola will provide Tosano with an estimated 20GWh of clean energy annually, helping the supermarket group accelerate its decarbonization and sustainability goals. The deal will reduce Tosano's CO2 emissions by approximately 6,000 tonnes per year. Iberdrola aims to have an operational capacity of 400MW in Italy by 2025.

Supermercati Tosano's chairman, Andrea Tosano, stated that the company's medium-term Energy Plan involves increasing its installed capacity of renewable energy to increase the self-produced share of total consumption. Iberdrola's country manager, Lorenzo Costantini, highlighted the importance of working with companies that prioritize renewable energy sources. He also emphasized that off-site PPA agreements stabilize the price of energy in the long term and eliminate the volatility associated with fossil fuels.
