EDP Renewables Signs Multi-Site Power Purchase Agreements in Europe

EDP Renewables Lands Multi-Site Power Purchase Agreements with Major US Tech Company in Europe

EDP Renewables (EDPR) has sealed a game-changing deal with a major US technology company, signing multi-site Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for solar projects across Germany, France, and Italy. This marks the first time the company has inked simultaneous agreements in multiple European markets, showcasing its prowess in handling complex and diversified contracts.

The projects included in these groundbreaking agreements are set to launch in 2025 and extend up to 20 years. Among them are the Ketzin project in Germany with an 87MWp capacity, the Venoy project in France boasting 19MWp, and the Chiaramonte project in Italy with a robust 70MWp capacity, all developed by Kronos Solar EDPR. Collectively, these facilities are projected to churn out over 226GWh per annum.

For the US tech giant, these PPAs serve as a cornerstone in its long-term solar energy procurement strategy, mitigating the risks tied to fluctuating energy prices while fortifying energy cost management and supply stability. The company’s move towards investing in renewable energies in Africa further underscores its commitment to sustainable practices.

On the flip side, these contracts bolster EDP’s position in the European renewable energies arena, with the company now boasting close to 9 GW of contracted installed capacity under PPAs globally. This feat solidifies EDP’s reputation as a reliable energy partner capable of meeting the demands of major technology players.

Financially, these PPAs guarantee EDP stable long-term revenues in line with its business objectives of securing over 55% of its installed capacity through enduring contracts. This strategic move enhances financial visibility and paves the way for future investments. Diversifying its project portfolio across different nations also shields EDP from geopolitical and regulatory risks, underscoring the company’s commitment to operational resilience and sustainability in the competitive renewable energies landscape.

By forging strong strategic partnerships with industry leaders, EDP continues to fortify its position as a frontrunner in the European renewable energies market, highlighting its unwavering dedication to driving sustainability and innovation in the sector.
