Spark buys Lauriston solar farm output

Telco signs 10 year renewable energy deal with Genesis

A 10 year deal between Spark and Genesis Energy will see the telco buy all the power generated by the Lauriston solar plant.

Spark says this will make a significant contribution towards its emissions reduction target. It aims to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 56 per cent when measured against its 2020 level.

Construction work is about to start at Lauriston. When the plant goes online at the end of this year it has a planned output of 63MW.
