What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

AGL announced a partnership with Bega Group to deploy a large-scale rooftop solar project at the company’s Wetherill Park food manufacturing site in Western Sydney. The installation involves over 2400 solar panels across interconnected rooftops and is structured under a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement. This arrangement allows Bega Group to utilize renewable energy without requiring upfront capital investment, as AGL handles the building, ownership, and operation of the system.
