Kimberly-Clark has partnered with independent power producer BNZ to create three new virtual solar power purchase agreements (vPPAs) in Italy and Spain. The personal care and hygiene product manufacturer says the projects are a step toward electrifying and reducing carbon emissions from its tissue-making process. The vPPAs will generate a forecasted 164 GWh of renewable electricity each year. The solar farms’ renewable energy generation is equivalent to over 40% of the total electricity consumed by Kimberly-Clark’s Western and Central European production facilities, located in Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and Czechia.
