ERG Group, a leading pure renewable energy power producer, and Amazon have reached an agreement by signing a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The pay-asproduced agreement covers the energy and REGOs (Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin) from the Corlacky wind farm in Northern Ireland, for which construction is expected to be completed by the 4th quarter of 2025, with commercial operation to follow.

Once completed, the plant will consist of 11 Vestas V117 turbines of 4.3 MW each, for a total installed capacity of 47.3 MW and an estimated annual production of around 176 GWh when fully operational, equivalent to around 66 kt of CO2 avoided and meeting the energy consumption needs of around 55,361 UK households.

Paolo Merli, Chief Executive Officer of ERG, commented: 
"This important agreement with a global corporate player confirms ERG’s leadership in the PPA market, which are fundamental tools for stabilizing revenues in a volatile price scenario. Thanks to this additional agreement, the amount of energy securitised by the Group through PPAs increases to more than 3TWh per year”.
