BayWa re PPA head Daniel Parsons said: “This is truly an unprecedented time for energy markets across Europe.
“Corporates are facing price spikes and increasing uncertainty, and at the same time, they want to play an active role in tackling the climate crisis.
“Renewable energy is the only answer, and long-term PPA contracts are a key tool to achieve reliable electricity supply and to enable more renewable energy.
“It’s brilliant that we’re now able to introduce a tender process to our PPAs in Spain and Germany.”

Last January, BayWa re sold four of its German wind farms, namely Haltern-Sythen, Finkenbach-Gersweiler, Bedesbach and Bruchwald, to Encavis Infrastructure Fund II.
Earlier this year, the company secured the rights to develop a 960MW floating wind farm offshore from Scotland in partnership with Elicio and BW Ideol.
The companies will build the project in the NE8 development area designated under the Scottish Government’s Sectoral Marine Plan for Offshore Wind.
