Flow Power supports Sydney Opera House’s long-term renewable energy goals

With the Sydney Opera House being one of the world’s busiest performing arts centres and Australia’s premier tourist destination, the venue has a long-term environmental sustainability plan which aims to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality.

To help meet its green energy objectives, when the Opera House’s management made the decision to switch to renewable energy it was well aware that solar panels weren’t exactly going to fit onto its iconic sails.

Following a competitive tender, the Sydney Opera House now has a seven-year Corporate Renewable Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Flow Power.

As Ian Cashen, Sydney Opera House Executive Director of Building Safety & Security, explains “this deal brings us another step closer to our long-term renewable energy goals and will deliver significant savings in operational costs over its seven-year period.

The Sydney Opera House is Australia’s first heritage-listed building to commit to this innovative energy retail model, joining a growing number of high-profile organisations leading the way towards a low carbon future through investment in large-scale renewable projects.

In March this year, Flow Power revealed since the start of 2018, its customers have saved $14 million collectively from purchasing from large scale wind and solar farms through Flow Power.
