Business Renewables Buying Group 
Power Purchasing Agreements for businesses with high electricity consumption (over 500MWh per year).

Picture
CVGA has partnered with the Victorian Greenhouse Alliances and City of Yarra to work with Councils across Victoria to assist businesses to purchase low-cost renewable energy and cut their emissions.

​The Business Renewables Buying Group is a council led procurement process for medium to large electricity consumers to enter into renewable energy Power Purchase Agreements (PPA).
The project is being led by the City of Yarra and being rolled out across Victoria. 

What is the Business Renewables Buying Group?
The Business Renewables Buying Group is designed to bring together a Buying Group of like-minded local businesses. With Council support, the group will work collectively to scale up their buying power whilst cutting complexity, time, and cost associated with going 100% renewable.

What are the benefits of a renewable power purchase agreement for your business?
  • Cost effective way to reduce emissions and deliver on your strategic goals
  • Long term and stable pricing provide budget certainty and reduces exposure to energy market volatility
  • Avoid repeated internal procurement processes over the duration of the PPA contract
  • Participation in this project and renewable energy purchase can provide Reputation, branding and leadership benefits
  • Opportunity to directly support the renewable energy industry.
