Engie has signed a corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA) with Atlas Copco Airpower to deliver clean energy from its 325MW C-Power wind farm located offshore Belgium.

The clean energy will allow Atlas Copco Airpower to partially power its smart factory in Wilrijk with wind energy directly from the North Sea.

Atlas Copco Airpower airtech division president Wouter Ceulemans stated: “Atlas Copco Group wants to contribute to the sustainable energy transition.

“With this subscription, we are taking another step towards achieving our sustainability goals, reducing emissions from our own operations by 46% by 2030.”

French multinational utility company Engie oversees a portion of the electricity produced by C-Power or Thornton Bank, and distributes it to companies in Belgium.

Engie Belgium chief executive Vincent Verbeke stated: “As the world's largest developer of green PPAs, Engie wants to help its clients reduce the carbon footprint of their operations.

“Thanks to this agreement, the first PPA for Atlas Copco, the company will be able to save 9,000t of CO² annually.”

In August 2024, Engie Brasil Energia commenced commercial operations of the first 15 wind turbines at the Serra do Assuruá wind complex in Brazil.

Located in the municipality of Gentio do Ouro in Bahia, the complex began operations following approval from the National Electric Energy Agency, contributing 8% to the project's total installed capacity.

When fully operational, the Serra do Assuruá wind complex will include 24 wind farms with 188 turbines, providing an installed capacity of 846MW.

Developed entirely by ENGIE Brasil Energia, the project commenced in March 2023. This new wind complex marks the fourth of its kind in Bahia, where ENGIE Brasil Energia also operates the Umburanas, Campo Largo 1 and Campo Largo 2 wind farms.
