The PPA will commence in July 2025. It supports the construction of a new solar park near Vedde in Soro municipality, 80 km (50 miles) away from Hillerod. The solar power plant, slated for completion at the end of 2024, is expected to have a capacity of 107 MWp and produce 110 GWh of green electricity a year.

Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies is a contract manufacturer of biologics, vaccines and advanced therapies, part of Japanese conglomerate Fujifilm Holdings Corp (TYO:4901). The deal aligns with the company’s climate strategy, Partners for the Planet.

“When the Vedde solar park and the Blevins (Texas) Solar Project previously announced by Fujifilm Holdings America Corporation come online, all our seven manufacturing sites globally will be sourcing electricity generated by renewable energy,” said Lars Petersen, president and CEO at Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies.
