Munich Airport and RWE have signed a 10-year power purchase agreement for 40 GWh of green electricity annually from RWE’s Nordseecluster A offshore wind farm.
The deal guarantees power for airport infrastructure including buildings and aprons, equivalent to supplying 12,000 households yearly and cutting 13,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. The 660 MW Nordseecluster A, located 50 km north of Juist in the North Sea, begins operation in early 2027.
Munich Airport CCO/CSO Dr Jan-Henrik Andersson called the PPA essential to the airport’s NetZero 2035 strategy, providing energy planning security amid Germany’s renewable expansion. RWE Supply & Trading CCO Ulf Kerstin highlighted such contracts’ role in accelerating German decarbonisation through large-scale offshore wind.
The agreement aligns airport operations with national goals for stable, CO2-free grid power while supporting RWE’s offshore portfolio growth.
