In 2018, Lightsource bp announced a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Brett Martin, one of NI’s most successful independent manufacturing companies.

Lightsource bp financed, completed and now operate the 6.42MWdc solar installation at Gibson Farm in Mallusk, Newtownabbey which is hard-wired directly into Brett Martin’s facility just over a mile away.

Brett Martin purchases the renewable energy generated at Gibson Farm from Lightsource bp via a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) that guarantees a fixed, index-linked price for 25 years. This long-term price visibility provides Brett Martin with a way to hedge against fluctuations in the energy market, and to protect themselves from unforeseen price hikes.
