Mars signs long-term wind power agreement in Lithuania to support manufacturing operations, supply chain decarbonisation and wider renewable energy expansion.

Mars has signed a major wind power agreement in Lithuania to secure renewable electricity for its operations and supply chain, supporting the company’s progress toward net zero.

The global snacking, food and pet care business has entered a long-term virtual power purchase agreement (PPA) with European Energy for most of the output from the planned Skuodas Wind Farm in Lithuania. The project, expected to go live in 2028, forms part of the Mars Renewables Acceleration Program and aims to expand renewable electricity across the company’s full value chain.
