McDonald’s UK will secure a major share of its renewable electricity needs through a new 15-year Corporate Power Purchase Agreement with Capital Dynamics and ENGIE.
From 2026, the company will purchase 100% of the electricity generated by the 66MW Douglas West Extension Wind Farm in Scotland, advancing its long-term decarbonisation strategy and supporting wider emissions reductions across its supply chain.
The Wind Farm’s twelve Nordex turbines will produce around 190GWh of clean electricity annually, providing McDonald’s and its suppliers with a stable, low-carbon energy source.
ENGIE’s innovative model will allow franchisees and key suppliers to tap into this green power, helping cut Scope 3 emissions and accelerating progress towards climate targets.
Nadia Hartley, McDonald’s UK&I, said: “By co-creating a 15-year agreement, we are securing nearly one-third of our renewable electricity needs, strengthening our supply chain, and accelerating progress toward our decarbonisation goals.”
The project also includes a community fund contributing more than £300,000 annually to support local initiatives, ensuring the benefits of clean energy are shared at regional level.
Capital Dynamics and ENGIE emphasised that partnerships like this play a vital role in scaling renewable energy, bolstering energy security, and supporting the UK’s net-zero commitments.
