Deal covers green energy from 960MW German North Sea offshore wind farm EnBW and logistics company DHL Group have signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for green energy from the He Dreiht offshore wind farm. He Dreiht (pictured), which is currently under construction in the German Bight, will have an installed capacity of 960MW, 20MW of which will go to supply DHL Group. The 10-year PPA will cover approximately 16% of DHL Group’s current annual electricity needs in Germany and will take effect in step with the phased commissioning of the wind farm through to spring 2026. The agreement relates to approximately 80GWh of green electricity per year. DHL Group’s chief procurement officer Anna Spinelli said: “Well thought-out energy management is crucial for us to achieve our goals. “The agreement with EnBW for the He Dreiht wind farm is another important step on our path to net-zero emissions in logistics by 2050. “The long-term agreement with our energy partner ensures a credible supply of electricity from renewable sources for our operations and contributes to supporting the energy transition. “This is an example of how fostering proactive supplier relationships can contribute to a more sustainable and positive ecosystem.” EnBW’s executive director Matthias Obert said: “We are delighted to support DHL Group on its journey towards zero-emission logistics. This partnership underscores our position as a major provider of sustainable energy across Europe. “PPAs are a targeted and highly flexible instrument for advancing the decarbonisation of industrials. They support the companies we partner with in meeting their sustainability goals while underpinning the financing of our projects: a win-win situation for industry and the climate.” More than half of the electricity that will be available from He Dreiht is already under contract. |
