Uniper And Stadtwerke Wolfenbüttel Agree On Supply Of Lower Saxony Wind Power

• Annual supply of approximately 9 GWh of wind power
• The power is generated by six wind turbines in Lower Saxony
• Uniper supports Stadtwerke Wolfenbüttel in offering regionally sourced green energy

Uniper and Stadtwerke Wolfenbüttel have signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) for onshore wind power. Under the agreement, Stadtwerke Wolfenbüttel will receive 100 percent of the energy generated by a wind farm in Lower Saxony. The agreement strategically expands the long-standing partnership in the gas business to include power and gives the wind farm a new role in Stadtwerke Wolfenbüttel’s portfolio. This move enables attractive commercial terms as well as the continued sustainable operation of wind turbines that are no longer eligible for EEG support.

Serving 56,892 residents, Stadtwerke Wolfenbüttel plays a central role in the region’s infrastructure. The PPA covers an annual supply volume of around 9 GWh of wind power, representing approximately 15 percent of the product customer portfolio.

Supply began earlier this year and strengthens the City of Wolfenbüttel’s energy supply with wind power generated in Lower Saxony.

For us as a municipal provider, sustainable supply is a core component of our corporate strategy. This partnership reinforces our role as a reliable energy supplier by enabling us to offer our customers carbon-neutral power and further strengthen our sustainability positioning. - Vera Steiner, Commercial Director and Spokesperson at Stadtwerke Wolfenbüttel GmbH

We are pleased to expand our partnership with Stadtwerke Wolfenbüttel into the electricity business. Our Pay‑as‑Forecasted PPA provides our customer with a tailored solution. Billing is based on forecast production, this reduces risk, improves planning certainty, and lowers operational complexity. - Andreas Gemballa, CEO at Uniper Energy Sales

Power purchase agreements have become a key driver in the energy transition. They secure the supply of renewable energy, protect against price volatility, promote innovation, and help significantly reduce CO_₂ emissions. In short, a win-win model for all parties involved.
