Wind Energy – PPA
Munich Airport and energy producer RWE signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) in February 2026.
The PPA has a term of ten years and guarantees the airport 40 gigawatt hours (40 million kilowatt hours) of electricity per year from a new RWE wind farm in the North Sea. That amount of energy would be sufficient to supply about 12,000 households per year with green electricity.
The electricity will be supplied by RWE’s Nordseecluster A offshore wind farm, which is currently under construction in the North Sea, around 50 kilometres north of the island of Juist.
It has a total capacity of 660 megawatts and is scheduled to go into operation in early 2027.
The agreement between the two companies ensures that the green electricity required for the airport’s infrastructure, such as buildings and aprons, will be supplied by RWE’s wind farm.
This is an essential component in Munich Airport’s consistent pursuit of its NetZero 2035 sustainability strategy. The PPA gives the airport planning security for the coming years and supports the expansion plans for renewable electricity generation in Germany.
