BASF and Ørsted have concluded a 25-year fixed-price corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA), under which BASF will offtake the output of 186MW from Ørsted’s planned Borkum Riffgrund 3 Offshore Wind Farm in the German North Sea.
The offshore wind farm will have a total installed capacity of 900MW and go into full commercial operation in 2025. Ørsted has recently secured planning approval from the German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH). Ørsted expects to take the final investment decision on Borkum Riffgrund 3 towards the end of 2021.
