From high-quality grapes. To low-carbon electricity. To full-bodied reds.
Solar-powered solutions are helping Treasury Wine Estates meet their emission reduction goals.
The customer
Treasury Wine Estates (TWE), a global premium and luxury wine producer.
The challenge
Treasury Wine Estates is decarbonising its operations 鈥� from vineyards to cellar doors, wine production facilities to packaging centres and its corporate offices around the world.
The solution
Shell Energy worked together with Treasury Wine Estates at the global wine producer鈥檚 site in South Australia鈥檚 Barossa Valley to install around 6,000 solar panels. The installations, which include solar power panels on purpose-built car park canopies, are estimated to generate around 3,600 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity per year. The project puts the wine producer on track to be powered by 100% renewable electricity by the end of 2024. 鈥婲ext up? The company is rolling out seven systems at its Californian properties in the Napa Valley and Central Coast, installing a 535 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery storage system in the Barossa Valley, as well as electric vehicle charging to support the transition to hybrid and electric vehicles.
鈥淚ntroducing solar panels at our sites makes a significant contribution to our ambition of net-zero direct emissions. Switching on the solar system here in South Australia鈥檚 Barossa Valley complements our other systems that are already operational, or scheduled to be completed in the coming year, at our sites in Australia, France, Italy, and the US. It鈥檚 all part of our broader goal to make wine sustainably, and cultivate a brighter future for the communities where we operate.鈥�
