Axpo, GIG finalize 127 MW of Nordic wind PPAs

Axpo Nordic has concluded two more long-term route-to-market power purchase agreements (PPA) with UK-based Green Investment Group’s (GIG) wind farms Buheii and Tysvær in Norway. Currently under construction with commercial operation expected in the second half of 2021, the wind farms will provide energy to the Norwegian smelters of Eramet, a global mining and metallurgical group. Axpo Nordic is responsible for facilitating the corporate PPA between GIG and Eramet Norway through the balancing of the wind farms and managing the physical power delivery.

Through the agreements for the Buheii and Tysvær wind farms, GIG and Axpo have now extended their existing cooperation to Norway.
