RWE Concludes Long-Term PPA with Dutch Wind Farm Waddenwind

RWE intends to market the green electricity, including guarantees of origin, to its major industrial and municipal customers. The Waddenwind wind farm consists of 12 turbines with a capacity of 54 MW and is located in a dyked area (Oostpolder) south of the port of Eemshaven. The turbines will generate an average of 190,000 megawatt hours of green electricity per year, enough to supply the equivalent of 70,000 households with electricity.

The first power from the turbines is expected at the beginning of next year, before it is fully operational in January 2022.

“Concluding this power purchase agreement with Waddenwind underlines our role as a strong  partner for operators of renewables plants, when it comes to market green electricity," emphasises Hendrik Niebaum, who as Head of Commodity Solutions is responsible for the customer business at RWE Supply & Trading. "Furthermore, we also secure attractive volumes of renewable electricity to meet the increasing demand for tailor-made corporate-PPA solutions from our industrial and municipal customers, supporting them in achieving their climate targets."
