Faerch: Procuring renewable energy for manufacturing and recycling facilities across markets
With manufacturing and recycling facilities across Northern Europe, Faerch needed a reliable and cost-effective supply of energy. After choosing a Better Energy Power Purchase Agreement in Poland, it determined that its Finnish operations would also benefit from a PPA.
Expanding renewable energy solutions across markets
Faerch, a leading European supplier of circular food packaging solutions, has a strong commitment to reducing its environmental footprint. Operating state-of-the-art production and recycling facilities across Europe, Faerch’s goal is to power all of its sites with renewable energy.
To achieve this, Faerch needed reliable green energy across multiple markets and identified Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) as a key strategy. After successfully securing green energy for its operations in Poland, Faerch sought to replicate this approach to make its Finnish operations more sustainable.
However, with corporate PPAs from solar parks being a new practice in Finland, the company turned to a trusted partner.
Leveraging a trusted partnership to provide green energy for Finnish operations
Building on its successful partnership with Better Energy in Poland, Faerch trusted the provider to expand its renewable energy strategy into Finland. Through a new PPA with Better Energy, Faerch is now set to power its Finnish operations with green energy, which it offtakes from a solar park near Hankoniemi in southern Finland.
This park, expected to generate 38 GWh annually—enough to meet the electricity needs of over 2,000 Finnish households—will provide Faerch with 70% of its Finnish energy consumption.
Faerch’s power purchase in Finland is Better Energy’s first PPA in the country, marking a milestone in the country.
The PPA with Better Energy secures a reliable source of renewable energy for Faerch's Finnish operations and contributes additional green energy to the Finnish grid, supporting the country’s renewable energy transition.
