SSE Energy Markets has entered a long-term power purchase agreement with CWP for 33% of output from the 308MW Sanquhar 2 wind farm in Dumfries and Galloway.
The company said the offtake share totals 83.4MW and is expected to generate about 354GWh of renewable electricity a year.
Sanquhar 2 is being built in two phases with first power anticipated in the third quarter of 2026 and full commercial operations targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026.
Under the 47-month deal, SSE Energy Supply Limited will provide fixed-price route-to-market services including balancing risk management and associated charges, and will buy 33% of the project’s REGO certificates.
SSE Energy Markets said the agreement increases its CfD route-to-market portfolio to 2.83GW and strengthens its position in UK renewable energy trading.
“Working again with CWP Energy on Sanquhar II demonstrates our ability to deliver tailored route-to-market solutions for large-scale onshore wind projects,” said Gordon Bell, managing director of SSE Energy Markets.
“This PPA supports renewable generation in Scotland and underlines our role in helping the UK transition to a low-carbon future,” he added.
Rhys Thomson, commercial director of CWP Energy, said the company was pleased to conclude the agreement for one third of the project’s output.
Thomson stated: “Their commercial offer provided the flexibility we wanted, and execution was incredibly easy.”
“We now look forward to energising what will be the UK’s fourth largest windfarm later this summer.”
