The 15-year agreement provides AGL with an offtake of 45% of the expected generation from Palmer, that share being approximately 123MW of up to 288MW of the project’s nameplate capacity.
AGL chief commercial officer David Moretto said renewable energy PPAs added important portfolio diversification and support the decarbonisation of the company’s electricity supply.
“AGL operates a diverse portfolio of assets to help meet the needs of our customers. This renewable energy PPA will add important diversification within AGL’s energy portfolio, support the decarbonisation of the company’s electricity supply, and can help AGL support its customers to decarbonise by increasing the renewable energy linked supply within our portfolio,” he said.
The Palmer Wind Farm, located approximately 70km east of Adelaide, is being developed by Tilt Renewables and is targeting first commercial operations in December 2028. The 15-year agreement is expected to run from that point forward.
