Whyte & Mackay and ENGIE have announced an innovative energy agreement incorporating 24/7 matching, helping to deliver more sustainable whisky distilling through locally sourced power to the Isle of Jura (UK).
The partnership will see Whyte & Mackay and ENGIE enter into a new 36-month renewable electricity agreement, with Whyte & Mackay’s energy needs provided by locally produced solar and hydro generation, under a single bespoke contract. The agreement is designed to provide long-term energy resilience, support decarbonization ambitions, and deliver traceable 24/7 reporting. This reporting matches Whyte & Mackay’s electricity consumption with the solar and hydro production on an hourly basis.
Under the agreement, Whyte & Mackay will contract with ENGIE for 100% of its energy supply needs backed by a solar and hydro Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the support of Inver Hydro. These assets are located on the Inver Estate, a short distance to Whyte & Mackay’s distillery on the Isle of Jura, Scotland, aligning renewable energy and the local community. The agreement includes 24/7 reporting, giving Whyte & Mackay enhanced visibility over its renewable power position to support more detailed energy management and reporting
Shane Healy, Distilling Director – Whyte & Mackay Ltd. said: “This agreement with ENGIE marks an important step in our Green Print strategy, giving us a renewable electricity solution that combines long-term certainty with greater transparency. By linking solar and hydro generation within one structure, and with 24/7 reporting built into the agreement, we are strengthening our ability to manage energy more effectively. This also supports our wider sustainability ambitions to be carbon neutral in our own operations by 2030 and positively supporting our local communities across our sites that are powered by the carbon neutral electricity.’
Rob Wells, Chief Executive Officer – ENGIE Energy Supply UK said: “We are pleased to support Whyte & Mackay with a tailored renewable energy agreement that brings together supply, renewable sourcing, and detailed reporting in one integrated solution. By combining solar and hydro technologies, alongside 24/7 reporting, this deal demonstrates how we can collaborate closely with customers to create flexible energy solutions that support operational needs and decarbonisation goals.”
