CleanPeak CEO Chris Coyne said the partnership reflects the airport’s commitment to sustainability from its first day of operation.
“WSI Airport is not just building an airport, they’re building a blueprint for sustainable aviation infrastructure. We’re honoured to deliver a solution that meets 100% of their electricity needs from renewables, backed by on-site battery storage to ensure reliability and cost certainty from day one,” Coyne said.
WSI Airport CEO Simon Hickey said the energy partnership was central to the airport’s long-term operating model.
“CleanPeak’s solution gives us the certainty we need on both cost and sustainability. Having 100% renewable energy and on-site battery storage from the moment we open sets a new benchmark for airport infrastructure in Australia,” Hickey said.
The 15-year contract term provides both parties with long-term revenue and supply certainty, with CleanPeak assuming the capital costs and operational responsibility for the battery storage infrastructure in exchange for a long-term energy services agreement.
