CASE STUDIES
BLACKWOODS
Blackwood is the country's largest distributor of industrial and safety supplies and its Canning Vale depot will have 630 solar panels installed on its roof.
"Wesfarmers is an enormous company but it is also Australia's largest private employer so there is an enormous connection with the community already," said Wesfarmers sustainability lead Patrick Heagney.
The 200-kilowatt system will supply a quarter of the business's electricity needs. Mr Heagney said it was the biggest single solar installation in the Wesfarmers group, and the first funded by community investors.

4 PINES BREWERY
4 Pines installed a 100kW solar system through a community funded PPA. The investment was raised during a ‘Launch Event’ at the brewery where 100% of the funds were raised within a few hours.
The PV system is expected to deliver nearly 40 per cent of 4 Pines’ electricity needs, bringing the at boutique brewer in line with its parent company, AB InBev, which aims to source 100 per cent of its purchased electricity from renewable sources by 2025.
Data collected on 4 Pines energy usage patterns is also being used to improve the brewery’s energy efficiencies across the business.
