Amazon and Skyborn Renewables sign Germany's largest offshore wind PPA for 600 MW at Gennaker farm in Baltic Sea
carboncredits.comAmazon has signed Germany's largest corporate clean energy deal, a 600 MW power purchase agreement with Skyborn Renewables for the Gennaker offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea. The deal covers about 61% of the project's planned 976.5 MW capacity and gives Skyborn the financial certainty to begin construction this summer, with commercial operations expected by the end of 2028. The Gennaker wind farm will use 63 next-generation 15 MW turbines and generate enough carbon-free electricity to power over one million German households each year. The project represents a roughly €3 billion investment in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and supports Germany's goal of installing 30 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030. For Amazon, the deal strengthens its position as Europe's largest corporate buyer of carbon-free electricity. Skyborn, backed by Global Infrastructure Partners, brings experience from projects like Butendiek and Yunlin. The key question is whether offshore wind timelines and grid interconnection in the Baltic Sea can keep pace with these corporate offtake commitments.
