Ahold Delhaize announces that it has signed a virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) with Spanish renewable energy company BRUC to support the financing and construction of a group of five solar power plants in Seville (Spain).

This project is part of its strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040 for its operations (scope 1 and 2).

Ahold Delhaize will contract around 90% of the group's installed capacity, and will receive guarantees of origin (renewable energy certificates) for a period of fifteen years.

The plants, operational in 2026, will supply 515 GWh per year, equivalent to the consumption of 132,000 homes, with a guaranteed capacity of 90% for fifteen years.

This milestone marks our commitment to net zero", commented Frank Sluis, CFO Ahold Delhaize Europe & Indonesia.
