The 10-year PPA will provide power supplied from two solar farms to be built in Spain with a combined power output of almost 200 megawatts, of which we will receive 130 megawatts to cover our 12 breweries in Western Europe. This makes it the largest Pan-European corporate solar power deal in history. The new solar capacity is expected to be added and connected by BayWa r.e. by March 2022. Our goal is to brew all Budweiser in Western Europe with renewable electricity, which we plan to feature through a new symbol on pack.
