AGL inks 7-year PPA with biotech firm CSL

Output will offtake 114 GWh from the 420 MW Victorian wind farm.

Australia’s AGL Energy and biotechnology firm CSL have finalised a 7-year renewable-linked power purchase agreement (PPA) where AGL will sell electricity from CSL’s Victorian operations.

The output it will offtake is projected to be around 114 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of energy per year from the Victorian wind farm’s 420-megawatt (MW) capacity.

Under the agreement, CSL will acquire renewable energy certificates from AGL to meet 100% of its electricity consumption. Certificates are expected to be generated from the Macarthur Wind Farm in Victoria, ensuring the quantity of renewable energy generated corresponds to the renewable energy certificate scheme.

“Renewable-linked PPAs like this one can assist our customers in their energy transition journey while also helping to support the ongoing operation of our renewable energy assets,” AGL Chief Customer Officer Jo Egan stated.

Macarthur Wind Farm is located in southwestern Victoria and comprises 140 wind turbines. On average, it generates over 910,000 MWh of renewable energy annually, capable of powering 171,000 average Australian households each year.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
