AGL, Tilt Renewables sign 15-year PPA

It will offtake 513 GWh from the 178 MW plant.

AGL Energy has signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Tilt Renewables to offtake 45% of the electricity output generated from the Rye Park Wind Farm in New South Wales in Australia.

In a statement, AGL said the output it will offtake is around 513 gigawatt-hours (GWh) annually from the plant’s 178-megawatt (MW) capacity.

This will avoid 400,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year, it said.

“This PPA with Tilt Renewables is an important milestone in our transition journey and our partnership with Tilt.” AGL COO Markus Brokhof said.

“Through this agreement AGL will source electricity to power approximately 90,000 Australian homes with renewable energy from April 2025 for 15 years,” he added.

The wind farm has been under construction since December 2021 and will be fully operational in mid-2024 with a total capacity of 369 MW.

This is also the first PPA to be signed following the acquisition of Tilt Renewables Australian operations by AGL and its partners QIC and the Future Fund in 2021.

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.
