(OFF) RWE SIGNS 15 YEAR PPA WITH EDF

RWE has signed a fifteen-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with EDF who will purchase the renewable electricity from the 1.4 GW Sofia offshore wind farm which is set for full generation in 2026.

In what represents RWE and EDF’s largest renewable energy agreement to date, EDF will offtake all the wind energy that Sofia will produce, expected to be approximately 6.5 terrawatt hours (TWh) each year.

This equates to almost half of the electricity used in the North East of England annually, or the equivalent of the power needs of 1.2 million UK homes, RWE said.

With offshore installation expected to begin in 2023 and project completion due in 2026, Sofia will have a capacity of 1.4 GW, making it one of the largest single offshore wind farms in the world.

It will comprise 100 Siemens Gamesa 14 MW turbines each standing at 252 metres tall. offshoreWIND.biz - link - Adnan Durakovic - link - more like this - link
