Statkraft supplies green power to Telekom subsidiary Power & Air Solutions

Statkraft will supply an average of 150 GWh of wind power per year for the years 2023 to 2028 from plants with a total capacity of over 150 MW. This enables Statkraft to secure the continued operation of 16 of its own wind farms that no longer receive EEG subsidies. The green power will be delivered to Power & Air Solutions in the form of a baseload. The supplied wind power corresponds to the electricity consumption of approx. 38,000 households.

First water, now wind

This is the second agreement that Statkraft and Power & Air Solutions have signed. From 2021 until 2023 Statkraft will supply 90 gigawatt hours of green power. The green power will be verified with guarantees of origin from Norwegian hydropower.

"We are very pleased to be able to support Deutsche Telekom AG's sustainability goals through this green power purchase agreement and at the same time secure the continued operation of our plants," says Klaas Bauermann, Head of Downstream Origination for Statkraft in Germany. "Supplying industrial companies with customised, high-quality green power solutions is our core business. The focus is on the customer's individual requirements, and we are able to structure the supply accordingly – up to base load."

"We are fully supporting the energy transition and actively promote the use of renewable energy. Through this new PPA, in cooperation with Statkraft, we guarantee the continued operation of onshore wind farms in Germany whose subsidies have expired," says Bernd Schulte-Sprenger, Managing Director of Power & Air Solutions.
