Crucially, for the first time, Flogas CNG fuel card holders will now have seamless access to renewable Bio-CNG at all four Circle K CNG stations, in addition to the Flogas Bio-CNG stations.

Since the partnership began in 2022, Flogas and Circle K have strengthened their commitment to providing customers with low-carbon transport fuel options. Today, Bio-CNG refuelling is available at key Circle K stations in Dublin Port and Clonshaugh in Co. Dublin, Cashel in Co. Tipperary, Ballysimon Road in Co. Limerick, together with the Flogas Bio-CNG station in Barberstown, Co. Dublin. This combined network of five Bio-CNG stations provides nationwide coverage of up to 820 kilometres of range between sites, ensuring reliable refuelling access along Ireland’s key logistics corridors giving fleet and haulage operators the confidence to decarbonise their operations without disrupting routes.

Jonathan Diver, Senior Director of Fuel at Circle K said, “We are thrilled to be taking the next step in our partnership with Flogas, moving to fully renewable Bio-CNG and expanding access to cleaner transport solutions nationwide. This aligns closely with our wider sustainability goals and commitment to supporting customers, including Flogas customers, in their transition to lower-carbon fuels”

Customers can refuel using either Flogas or Circle K branded cards, with all transactions centrally billed and supported by detailed sustainability reporting. This report will give fleet operators transparent, auditable data on their carbon savings and overall environmental performance, supporting their compliance and ESG commitments.

Ciaran Gahan, Energy Services Manager of Flogas said, “Our renewed partnership with Circle K is about giving our customers greater flexibility, convenience, and transparency. For the first time, Flogas CNG fuel card holders will be able to refuel at every Circle K CNG station nationwide, as well as our own Bio-CNG network, under a single contract with Flogas. Customers can use both Flogas and Circle K branded cards, and all transactions will be billed centrally for their CNG usage. We will provide detailed sustainability reporting so they can clearly track their carbon savings.”

“This significant move, alongside our new contract with long-term partner Virginia International Logistics, demonstrates how Flogas is not only supplying fuel to its partners but also bringing new customers into the network, creating a stronger, more connected low-carbon transport infrastructure. It’s about making it easier for fleet operators, like Virginia, to decarbonise their operations while having the data they need to demonstrate real progress towards their environmental goals.”

Virginia International Logistics and Flogas Sign New Contract

Adding further momentum to this announcement, Flogas is also announcing today a new contract with long-term partner Virginia International Logistics in Co. Cavan. Under the deal, eight Virginia trucks will be issued Flogas fuel cards, enabling them to refuel at any Circle K CNG station or Flogas Bio-CNG station nationwide. This latest agreement builds on a partnership that began in 2019, when Flogas and Virginia collaborated on Ireland’s first carbon-neutral truck trip – when a Virginia International Logistics truck fuelled by renewable gas Bio-CNG, supplied by Flogas, travelled over 1,000kms on a round-trip, carrying processed beef from Liffey Meats in Ballyjamesduff, Co. Cavan to Caen in France.

“Our journey with Flogas towards greener transport began years ago, and this latest development is incredibly exciting,” said Blaithin Curran, Driver Management from Virginia International Logistics. “The ability for our eight new Bio-CNG trucks, and indeed our wider fleet, to refuel with Flogas cards at Circle K stations across the country is a game-changer for convenience and operational efficiency. It makes it easier than ever for Virginia International Logistics to maintain our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint while delivering reliable service for our customers.”

Flogas is also investing in Ireland’s long-term renewable gas infrastructure through its recently announced offtake agreement with Nephin Renewable Gas. Under this national-level agreement, Flogas will purchase all biomethane produced by Nephin’s three state-of-the-art anaerobic digestion plants, including one currently under construction in Ballinrobe, County Mayo. Once operational, these facilities will generate more than 250 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of sustainable, Irish-produced biomethane each year. This partnership strengthens the country’s indigenous energy supply and underscores Flogas’ strategic commitment to expanding access to domestically produced, lower-carbon fuels.

Understanding the EEOS and NREC

The EEOS, from the Energy Efficiency Directive (EU/2023/1791), sets ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% compared to 1990 levels by 2030. Under this scheme, energy suppliers selling over 400 GWh annually, known as Obligated Parties (OPs), are required to support energy efficiency projects in businesses throughout Ireland. The NREC works on a simple yet effective principle: for every unit of energy saved through these projects, OPs earn energy credits towards their targets. This not only helps Ireland meet its national and European energy saving goals but also provides tangible benefits to businesses.

Key Parties Involved in the Scheme

As Senior Manager at Flogas Enterprise, I have been at the forefront of facilitating renewable energy adoption through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) across the island of Ireland. It has been a fascinating journey, particularly over the last couple of years as businesses like yours have been grappling with unprecedented energy price volatility.

The good news is there’s light at the end of the tunnel. We are finally seeing some stability in wholesale energy prices. But the million-dollar question remains: will this translate into lower prices for PPAs? Let us delve into this crucial question and explore what it means for your business.

Sunshine After the Storm? Deciphering the Energy Price Drop

Before we get ahead of ourselves, it is crucial to understand the context of the energy price crisis. A confluence of global events, including the conflict in Ukraine and the lingering effects of the pandemic, created a perfect storm of high demand and supply chain disruptions. This, naturally, sent energy prices soaring.

However, we are now witnessing a welcome easing of these pressures. European gas storage facilities are at healthy levels, and there has been a significant surge in renewable energy capacity, particularly in solar and wind. This increased supply, coupled with a milder winter and concerted efforts to reduce energy consumption, has contributed to the stabilisation of prices.

PPAs Demystified: A Quick Refresher

At Flogas Enterprise, we have seen firsthand the transformative power of PPAs. For those unfamiliar, a PPA is a long-term contract where your business agrees to purchase power at a fixed price from a renewable energy generator, such as a wind farm or solar park. This arrangement provides much-needed price stability and helps you lock in lower electricity rates, effectively shielding your business from the volatility of the wholesale market.

PPAs have witnessed a surge in popularity across ROI and NI as businesses actively seek ways to manage their energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint. But with the recent price fluctuations, the question arises: are they still a sound investment?

Understanding the Two Flavors of PPAs: Operational and Additional

When considering a PPA, it’s important to understand the two main types: operational and additional.

Operational PPAs are agreements with existing, post-subsidy wind farms. These PPAs offer businesses a direct contractual link to a specific renewable asset, providing energy price hedges, Guarantees of Origin (GOs), and contract terms up to five years. They offer a streamlined contracting process with certainty on dates and prices reflective of (but discounted to) the wholesale energy market.

Additional PPAs are agreements with yet-to-be-constructed, greenfield renewable assets, like new wind or solar farms. These PPAs focus on “additionality,” bringing new renewable power to the grid and supporting decarbonization efforts. They involve longer contract terms (10+ years), fixed PPA prices, and require businesses to be creditworthy to secure project financing for the developer.

The key differentiator between these two types of PPAs is additionality, and the risks and benefits arising as a result (and how these risks and benefits are negotiated and allocated).

What Has All This Got to Do with Falling Energy Prices?

The key takeaway here is that the price basis for Operational PPAs is directly related to the energy market, while the price basis for Additional PPAs is the cost of developing the renewable facility.

This means:

• Operational PPA prices will fluctuate with wholesale energy market prices.
• Additional PPA prices are not influenced by short-term energy market fluctuations.
• Prevailing wholesale energy prices are not the cost-basis for new build PPAs and therefore have no impact on the PPA price of a new build renewable asset.

This is a critical distinction for businesses considering PPAs. While lower or more stable energy prices might seem like an opportune time to secure a lower PPA price, this is only sometimes the case.

The Million-Dollar Question: Will Falling Prices Affect My Additional PPA?

This is where things get interesting. While lower or more stable wholesale energy prices are undoubtedly a positive sign and influence operational PPA pricing, their impact on additional PPA prices is a bit more nuanced.

Here is why:

• Additional PPAs are long-term commitments: Unlike fluctuating wholesale prices, additional PPAs offer price stability over an extended period, typically 10-15 years. This means that while wholesale prices might be lower now, they could easily rise again in the future. An additional PPA acts as a safeguard, protecting you from those potential future price hikes.
• Developers take a long-term view: When developers set additional PPA prices, they factor in long-term OPEX costs projections. They need to ensure the project remains financially viable over the entire contract duration.
• Other factors come into play: additional PPA prices are also influenced by factors like project development costs, financing rates, and government policies.

To PPA or Not to PPA? Making the Right Call for Your Business

So, what does this mean for you? Should you hold off on signing a PPA, hoping for even lower prices in the future?

Frankly, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. While wholesale prices might continue to fall in the short term, there is no guarantee they will stay low. Here is my advice:

• Assess your risk tolerance: If you are comfortable with price volatility and willing to bet on further price drops, you might consider waiting. However, remember that only operational PPA prices will move with the market.
• Additional PPA prices of new build assets move in line with development costs: Development costs are affected by macro non-wholesale energy factors such as inflation, cost of capital and more.
• Focus on your long-term strategy: If price stability and reducing your carbon footprint are top priorities, a PPA still offers significant benefits, even with the current market fluctuations.
• Shop around and negotiate: Do not be afraid to compare offers from different wind farms and solar parks and negotiate the terms of the contract.
• PPAs can be complex: speak with industry experts to navigate the market and understand the risks.

The Solar as a Service (SaaS) offering will enable Irish businesses to harness the power of rooftop and ground mounted Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels on their premises without any capital investment, significantly reducing their energy bills and carbon footprints.

This initiative is part of Flogas’ parent company, DCC plc’s “Cleaner Energy in Your Power” strategy, which focuses on expanding its renewable energy business. The strategy aims to reduce customer carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and supports DCC’s commitment to advancing sustainable energy practices across Europe, in alignment with the EU’s Green Deal target of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Flogas is partnering with Alternative Energy Ireland (AEI) and Wewise, both sister companies within the DCC group, to deliver a comprehensive solar solution for the Irish market.

AEI will manage the installation and ongoing management of the solar PV installations, ensuring they achieve 90% of their expected energy output annually, with the added benefit of real-time monitoring. Wewise, will provide tailored financing arrangements, making on-site solar energy accessible to large businesses without upfront costs.

“This investment is central to Flogas’ strategy to lead in renewable energy and sustainability across Ireland”, said Barry Murphy, Energy Services and Renewables Director, Flogas. “It supports our vision of becoming a green energy leader by driving the adoption of Solar as a Service among large businesses, ultimately reducing carbon emissions and energy costs while contributing to Ireland’s climate goals.”

Flogas aims to install around 50 megawatts (MW) of solar PV capacity across approximately 100 large businesses. This move is expected to generate about 50 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean energy annually—enough to power approximately 12,000 Irish homes each year.

The initiative is projected to significantly reduce Irish carbon emissions, with an estimated reduction of 11,000 tonnes annually — supporting Ireland’s renewable energy targets and furthering the country’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions.

“Solar as a Service offers numerous benefits, including zero upfront costs, significant energy savings, reduction in carbon footprints, a single monthly fee, and a service level agreement for the duration of any contract”, said Steven Bray, Managing Director, Alternative Energy Ireland. “This model enables businesses to leverage solar energy without the financial burden of purchasing and maintaining the technology.”

The focus on large businesses aligns with the national goal of decarbonising the Irish commercial sector, crucial for meeting the overall reduction in emission targets for 2030 and 2050.

The solar energy market in Ireland is in its early stages of development. At the end of 2023, Ireland had 700 MW of solar PV installed capacity, with electricity generation from solar PV accounting for only 1.9% of Ireland’s electricity supply.

Irish Government policies such as the Renewable Energy Support Scheme (RESS) provide incentives to boost adoption, but uptake remains constrained – particularly in the commercial sector – by barriers of high initial costs and limited access to capital for upfront investments in renewable energy infrastructure.

“Flogas aims to address these barriers, accelerate solar adoption, and support Ireland’s ambitious energy sustainability targets, including generating 80% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030,” added Murphy. “We also hope this project will contribute to Ireland achieving a 51% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 relative to 2018 levels, as outlined in the government’s Climate Action Plan.”

This service is particularly suitable for large energy users requiring systems of over 150 kW. Suitable roof or land space on site will be required and reviewed during detailed site survey phase in project.

The post Flogas Targets €50 Million Investment in Irish Solar Energy Projects appeared first on Flogas Enterprise.

Vodafone Ireland has signed a new Corporate Power Purchasing Agreement (CPPA) with energy supplier Flogas, along with its infrastructure partner Vantage Towers.

This agreement allows Vodafone to directly purchase renewable electricity from the Derrynadivva Wind Farm located in Mayo. Vodafone is the first telco in Ireland to sign a CPPA.

The investment of €6million is part of the company’s sustainability goals to achieve net zero across its full value chain by 2040. Combined with other agreements Vodafone has in place, 100% of its Irish operations are matched with certificates of renewable energy sources in Ireland.

The energy secured within this agreement gives Vodafone access to clean, high quality and affordable renewable electricity for its extensive network of cables that deliver mobile and fixed services to customers across Ireland. As part of this agreement, the company’s infrastructure partners, Vantage Towers will also receive renewable energy from the Derrynadivva Wind Farm.

Amanda Nelson, CEO at Vodafone Ireland said: “We are proud of the steps we’re taking to not only support our customers to be greener but also green our own operations. Today’s announcement is an investment in Ireland and its renewable energy industry. This is a significant step towards our own ambitious net zero targets.’’

Brian McHugh, Managing Director at Vantage Towers Ireland said: “Vantage Towers’ infrastructure network is totally powered by renewable energy, in line with our global ESG agenda. Sustainability is a necessity, and this agreement with Flogas is a further commitment to minimizing the impact of our business on the environment, and a continued investment in Ireland’s natural generating capability.’’

 Pat Brett, Director at Derrynadivva Wind Farm Ltd said: “We are thrilled that Derrynadivva Wind Farm in Co Mayo continues to play a pivotal role in Ireland’s transition to a sustainable energy future. By delivering clean, renewable wind energy to some of the nation’s largest companies, we are not only helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also supporting these businesses in their commitment to more efficient and responsible energy consumption.”

 James Temple, Renewables Manager at Flogas, said: “The CPPA with Vodafone Ireland underscores the accelerating commitment of Irish companies to increase their use of carbon-free energy and lead in renewable energy adoption. As a leading provider of clean energy CPPAs, Flogas is dedicated to enhancing the economic feasibility of renewable projects and advancing Ireland’s transition to a low-carbon economy.”

Vodafone’s sustainability strategy also focuses on reducing its energy consumption. In Ireland, the company uses an Intelligent Energy Management System. This is a system in which a machine learning algorithm across the 4G network analyses traffic patterns in real-time, allowing Vodafone reduce congestion and ultimately reduce energy consumption by 10 to 15%. 

Vodafone Ireland also provides ways for customers be more sustainable including ‘Fix & Go’ for repairs and upgrades to extend the lifecycle of phones, as well as eSIMs which reduce carbon emissions by removing the need to manufacture and ship plastic, and a variety of eco accessories.

In 2022, Vodafone became the first telco in Ireland to offer a device trade-in service which has been very well received by customers, with over 35,000 devices returned to Vodafone to date. The initiative offers customers up to €400 for old smartphone devices which customers can use as store credit towards the purchase of a new device or receive payment directly into their bank account. After the device is traded in Vodafone ensures each device is refurbed, recycled or repurposed, as part of our commitment to a circular economy.
