Green Peak Energy’s partnership with Cloudy Bay Winery

The Marlborough region’s exceptional suitability for wine grapes owes much to its abundant sunshine, making solar energy an obvious choice.

When wine-making experts determine it’s time to explore solar energy, they understand the importance of consulting solar experts. Opting for a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) instead of solely investing in solar panels emerges as a clear and logical choice.

Our comprehensive solution 
for Cloudy Bay Winery

Tailored solutions

At the end of the 15 year period, Cloudy Bay Winery will have the system for free.

No hidden fees

Despite generating significant solar power, Cloudy Bay Winery only pays for the energy they actually consume.

Quality assurance

GPE built, own, operate and maintain the solar system to ensure that it’s generating at its highest capacity at all time.

Hear what Cloudy Bay had to say about this project

“PPAs are a great way for companies to get into solar and to push their sustainability agendas, and you can do so without having to stump up a lot of capital, nor do you need the expertise to understand and manage a solar system, which most businesses just don’t have.”
