This makes it the largest Pan-European corporate solar power deal in history. The new solar capacity is expected to be added and connected by BayWa r.e. by March 2022. Our goal is to brew all Budweiser in Western Europe with renewable electricity, which we plan to feature through a new symbol on pack.
