In 2018, Lightsource bp announced a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Brett Martin, one of NI\u2019s most successful independent manufacturing companies.<\/p>\n

Lightsource bp financed, completed and now operate the 6.42MWdc solar installation at Gibson Farm in Mallusk, Newtownabbey which is hard-wired directly into Brett Martin\u2019s facility just over a mile away.<\/p>\n

Brett Martin purchases the renewable energy generated at Gibson Farm from Lightsource bp via a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) that guarantees a fixed, index-linked price for 25 years. This long-term price visibility provides Brett Martin with a way to hedge against fluctuations in the energy market, and to protect themselves from unforeseen price hikes.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
