Zosia Riesner, director of Power Markets, Europe at Lightsource bp, explained: “This collective deal means businesses that don’t necessarily require huge volumes of electricity on their own can combine their demand to still find a simple and efficient way to transition towards renewables and support the development of new solar projects.”

Eva von Alvensleben, executive director and secretary general of The Fashion Pact, emphasised the pivotal role of collaboration in fast-tracking the fashion industry’s transition to renewable energy. She said: “The Fashion Pact’s unique model with strong CEO leadership has allowed brands to move forward together quickly. This has been critical to ensuring the success of this collective virtual power purchase agreement, a first for the industry.”

Lightsource bp is currently progressing over 10 gigawatts (GW) of utility-scale solar projects at various stages of development across Europe. These projects will be made available to corporations and utilities seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked to their electricity supply.

H&M CEO Helena Helmersson joined the Fashion Pact as co-chair in May to scale joint action around climate, biodiversity and oceans.
