The Viva Energy Group has entered into a power purchase agreement with Spanish firm Acciona to power its oil refinery from a wind farm.
In an announcement Tuesday, Viva Energy said that the agreement would secure pricing on roughly 100-gigawatt hours per year of electricity from Acciona’s Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm.
This equates to approximately a third of the yearly electricity needs of Viva Energy’s Geelong Refinery, which was constructed in 1954 and can refine 120,000 barrels of oil daily.
