Mercedes plans to boost renewable energy to account for 70% of overall energy needs at its own production sites. Iberdrola says that the majority of the electricity Windanker generates will be traded through long-term PPAs Amazon is also going to source power from Windanker. That power is going to cover around 30% of the company’s electricity needs in Germany. It will consist of 20 15 MW wind turbines. The wind farm that will supply Mercedes with power is called Windanker, and the 300 MW Baltic sea project is expected to come online in 2026. A PPA is a long-term agreement between a renewable developer and a customer to purchase energy from a specific source at a predetermined price. The German automaker said today that it signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Spain’s Iberdrola for 140 megawatts (MW) of energy from an offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea. Mercedes-Benz just signed a deal for offshore wind power – and it’s one of the auto industry’s largest power purchase agreements for clean energy in Europe.
