  • Saputo Dairy Australia Commences Large-Scale Renewable Electricity Agreement with ENGIE
    Media Release Saputo Dairy Australia commences large-scale renewable electricity agreement with ENGIE (Melbourne, 7 April 2021) – Saputo Dairy Australia (SDA), the operating subsidiary of Saputo Inc. in Australia, is issuing this media release to announce that SDA has commenced a 10 year long-term, large-scale renewable power purchase agreement (PPA) with ENGIE, a global leader in renewable energy. Within two years, this transformational program will ramp up to offset 46% of SDA’s electricity with renewables through ENGIE’s Australian renewable energy generation portfolio. In 2020, Saputo Inc., one of the top 10 dairy processors in the world, pledged to accelerate its global efforts to safeguard the environment and committed clear targets to achieve sustainable progress, including actively sourcing renewables. SDA’s long-term commitment to renewable electricity is a big step towards Saputo achieving its promise to reduce its global greenhouse gas intensity by 20% by 2025. This renewable initiative will be on track to reduce SDA’s carbon dioxide emissions by more than 61,000 tonnes in 2023 - equal to taking more than 13,000 cars off the road and reducing Saputo’s global CO2 footprint by 5.7% (against the FY2020 baseline). SDA’s 10-year renewable PPA with ENGIE commenced on 1 April, following a two-year intensive program with energy and sustainability advisor, Schneider Electric. Partnering with ENGIE is an important step in sourcing clean renewable electricity to reduce SDA’s environmental footprint and play our part as a sustainable dairy manufacturer. ENGIE welcomed the deal with SDA. “We’re delighted to be delivering a long-term renewable solution that will help Saputo Dairy Australia achieve their sustainability goals,” said Andrew Hyland, ENGIE’s Executive General Manager of Energy Management.

  • ENGIE Inaugurates a Platform Designed to Test Renewable Technologies in Singapore, Thus Accelerating Its Strategy Towards a Carbon-Neutral Economy
    Press release 26th November 2020 ENGIE inaugurates a platform designed to test renewable technologies in Singapore, thus accelerating its strategy towards a carbon-neutral economy ENGIE inaugurates a SPORE (meaning Sustainable Power for Offgrid REgions) platform on Semakau island, off the coast of Singapore. In collaboration with Nanyang Technological University’s Energy Research Institute and Schneider Electric, the site is aimed to become a living lab, used by ENGIE and its partners to test different renewable technologies including green hydrogen, provide training and demonstrate that a 100% renewable microgrid is possible. This platform strengthens ENGIE’s purpose to accelerate the transition towards a carbon-neutral economy and is a key milestone for the group’s Research & Development initiatives. Realised under the local “Renewable Energy Integration Demonstrator” (REIDS) initiative, the project consists of a state-of-the-art, multi-fluid microgrid solution that generates 650 kW of electricity. ENGIE’s REIDS-SPORE is a platform disconnected from the Singapore mainland and energy self-sufficient, with different renewable energy sources and storage solutions integrated together. It boasts the largest wind turbine in Singapore, as well as a hydrogen full chain for electricity and mobility. This SPORE platform will enable to address the issue of accessing green energy in remote areas. It is set to be a living lab used by ENGIE Group to test and develop different kinds of low carbon solutions in real, tropical conditions, and prepare their deployment at a larger scale. Moving forward, it could serve as a learning centre for industry and professionals to learn about these new technologies.
