Statkraft and Power & Air Solutions, energy supplier to Deutsche Telekom, have concluded a power purchase agreement covering 920 gigawatt-hours of wind power in Germany.
The Norwegian renewables developer will supply an average of 150GWh of wind power per year for the years 2023 to 2028 from plants with a total capacity of over 150MW.
This enables Statkraft to secure the continued operation of 16 of its own wind farms that no longer receive EEG subsidies.
The supplied wind power corresponds to the electricity consumption of around 38,000 households.
“We are very pleased to be able to support Deutsche Telekom AG’s sustainability goals through this green power purchase agreement and at the same time secure the continued operation of our plants,” said Klaas Bauermann, Head of Downstream Origination for Statkraft in Germany.
“Supplying industrial companies with customised, high-quality green power solutions is our core business. The focus is on the customer’s individual requirements, and we are able to structure the supply accordingly – up to base load.”
“We are fully supporting the energy transition and actively promote the use of renewable energy. Through this new PPA, in cooperation with Statkraft, we guarantee the continued operation of onshore wind farms in Germany whose subsidies have expired,” added Bernd Schulte-Sprenger, Managing Director of Power & Air Solutions.
