Finnish Sinebrychoff, part of the Carlsberg Group, and Hamburg-based wind and solar park operator Encavis have signed a 10-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Sinebrychoff, Finland’s leading brewery and a member of the Carlsberg Group, produces beer, cider, long drinks, soft drinks, energy drinks, and Coca-Cola beverages. The company uses 100% Renewable Energy for brewing and is fully CO₂-neutral.
Under the agreement, Sinebrychoff will source green electricity from Encavis’ Paltusmäki wind farm (21.5 MW), located about 100 kilometers southwest of Oulu. The PPA will commence on January 1, 2026. Encavis will supply Sinebrychoff with approximately 25 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity per year on average – around 250 GWh over the 10-year term – representing about 40% of the Paltusmäki wind farm’s average annual production (62 GWh from its five turbines).
“It is truly important for us to support long-term energy projects and ensure Renewable Energy use in the beverage industry. This partnership supports the ‘Together Towards ZERO and Beyond’ targets of Sinebrychoff and the whole Carlsberg Group. These targets would be unachievable without partnerships,” Hanna Palomäki, Sinebrychoff’s ESG Champion told The Voice of Renewables.
Mario Schirru, CEO of Encavis, welcomed the partnership: “This deal demonstrates how long-term PPAs drive real climate impact. We are proud to support Carlsberg Group’s Net-Zero ambition and to help advance its plan of achieving carbon-neutral breweries by 2030. By feeding clean wind energy to the grid, we not only strengthen regional energy security but also guarantee stable electricity costs for a decade. Encavis is THE partner for decarbonisation: leading the market, accelerating businesses’ green transition and delivering reliable, forward thinking renewable solutions.”
The PPA with Sinebrychoff further enriches Encavis’ long-term PPA portfolio. Existing PPA customers include global tech corporations such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, as well as European industrial players like Aliaxis and Schouw & Co. They all share the goal of securing green electricity from renewable sources at competitive prices over the long term.
