Woolworths, an Australian chain of supermarkets, last week announced a renewable energy cooperation with Spanish energy company Iberdrola to power its sites in South Australia.
The nine-year partnership will support the construction of the Port Augusta Renewable Energy Park, the southern hemisphere’s largest hybrid wind-solar farm.
The park will run 50 turbines and 250,000 solar panels in succession to provide the retailer with about 100,000 megawatt-hours of renewable electricity per year, which will help power 70 Woolworths stores, 17 Big W stores, and the company’s Adelaide Regional Distribution Centre.
