Air Liquide has signed a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) in the Netherlands with Vattenfall, for 115MW or around 500 GWh per year, of renewable electricity from the offshore wind farm Hollandse Kust Zuid.
This PPA comes in addition to a 100 GWh-PPA with Air Liquide announced in March 2021. The 15-year PPA starting in 2025 enables Air Liquide to supply its existing industrial and medical gas production assets in the Netherlands and more generally in the Benelux region with renewable energy. Hollandse Kust Zuid is located in the North Sea, about 18-35 kilometers off the Dutch coast between The Hague and Zandvoort. The offshore wind project, consisting of 140 wind turbines with a total capacity of 1,500 megawatts, is scheduled to be fully operational in 2023. Hollandse Kust Zuid is owned by Vattenfall, BASF and Allianz.
