RWE's Kaskasi offshore wind farm will supply seven German industrial customers with green electricity from 2026. Corresponding Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) have been signed between RWE Supply & Trading and DHL Group, Ensinger, Evonik, Infraserv Höchst, thyssenkrupp Steel Europe, and Vodafone.
A first PPA from Kaskasi has already been signed with the retail divisions of the Schwarz Group (Lidl, Kaufland) in spring 2023. Most of the contracts run for ten years and include either a direct purchase (as-produced), a scheduled profile delivery (as-nominated), or a delivery of constant volumes (baseload delivery). The first contract will start in 2026, with further contracts to follow in 2027 and 2028. RWE's Kaskasi wind farm is located around 35 kilometres off the coast of Helgoland and has 38 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 342MW.
