REWE Group, Ørsted sign 100 MW PPA for Borkum Riffgrund 3 offshore wind farm in the German North Sea

REWE Group, one of Germany's leading food retailers, has signed a 10-year power purchase agreement with Ørsted to procure 100 MW of green electricity from Ørsted's Borkum Riffgrund 3 offshore wind farm which is set to become operational in 2025.

Having procured electricity from renewable energy sources since 2008, the agreement with Ørsted represents REWE Group's largest renewable energy offtake agreement to date and makes REWE Group the first German food retailer to purchase electricity from an offshore wind farm in the North Sea.

The 100 MW of green power from Borkum Riffgrund 3 equals the power consumption of 1,500 REWE stores. REWE Group has a goal of becoming climate neutral by 2040.
