July 3^rd 2025: Fourteen Irish businesses, spanning sectors from agriculture to technology, are now powering their operations with clean, affordable wind energy thanks to a groundbreaking new Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) from Flogas, a DCC company. This innovative multi-buyer CPPA with Cronalaght 1 Wind Farm in County Donegal is the largest by customer count of its kind in Ireland. It marks a major milestone in the Irish renewable energy market, making sustainable energy more accessible than ever before for businesses of all sizes, and signalling a strong demand for a cleaner, more transparent electricity supply.

This innovative structure, pioneered in Ireland by Flogas, breaks down traditional barriers to entry for smaller businesses seeking renewable energy solutions, previously a market dominated by larger corporations. This agreement allows these 14 businesses to benefit from competitively priced, renewable electricity while significantly reducing their carbon footprint and providing electricity supply chain transparency. Cronalaght 1 Wind Farm, which has been operational for over 25 years, prevents approximately 3,872 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually – that’s equivalent to powering 4,200 electric vehicles for a year.

The 14 businesses participating in the CPPA represent a diverse range of sectors, including agriculture, hospitality, construction, aviation, technology, manufacturing and food/beverage. The businesses include Ashleigh Farms, Fresh Opportunities, SIAC and EFG Inflight Ltd. Their involvement underscores the growing commitment to sustainability across Irish businesses and highlights the effectiveness of this multi-buyer CPPA structure.

“Partnering with Flogas on this CPPA has allowed us to secure renewable energy at a competitive price, significantly contributing to our sustainability targets,” said Ken McGrath, Director Ashleigh Farms. "This agreement provides us with long-term price stability and demonstrates our commitment to a greener future."

"As a business focused on fresh produce, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do,” said David Field, Managing Director Fresh Opportunities.  Partnering with Flogas on this CPPA allows Fresh Opportunities to power our operations with renewable wind energy, directly supporting our mission to reduce our environmental impact. This initiative resonates strongly with our customers and reinforces our commitment to a greener, more sustainable food system." 

"The aviation sector faces unique sustainability challenges, and EFG Inflight is committed to exploring every avenue for decarbonisation,” said Barry Deane, Purchasing Manager, EFG Inflight Ltd. This CPPA with Flogas provides us with a direct and impactful way to source renewable electricity for our ground operations, contributing significantly to our environmental goals. It's an innovative solution that aligns with our vision for a more sustainable future in aviation." 

This CPPA will allow all 14 businesses to benefit from more transparent reporting of their Scope 2 emissions, in line with established greenhouse gas accounting principles.

“We're incredibly proud to be leading the charge in making renewable energy more accessible for Irish businesses," said John Rooney, Managing Director at Flogas Ireland. "This is just the beginning – we're already developing our next multi-buyer CPPA, further solidifying our commitment to providing sustainable energy solutions."

The CPPAs range from one to two years in duration and commenced supplying customers in Q1 2025. Flogas has opened its next multi-buyer wind PPA for subscription with supply commencing from July 1^st, 2025. Interested businesses should contact cppa@flogas.ie for details.
