Henkel has signed a virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) relating to a new wind farm in Bee County, Texas. The agreed capacity equals 100% of the electricity demand of Henkel’s operations in the US, which comprise more than 30 production sites across the country.
Henkel’s VPPA in the US is connected to a new wind power project, which is being developed by Ørsted. With an overall production of around 600,000 MWh per year, the wind farm is scheduled to be connected to the grid in early 2022. Henkel’s agreement comprises half of the wind farm’s electricity capacity at fixed terms over a period of more than 10 years.
