Amazon and Skyborn Renewables have signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) under which Amazon will procure 600 MW electricity from Skyborn’s Gennaker offshore wind farm. The project is located approximately 15 kilometres north of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula in the German Baltic Sea and will add up to 976.5 MW of offshore wind capacity to Germany’s power system. The project will feature 63 offshore wind turbines rated at 15 MW each.
Skyborn secured the construction permit for the project in 2025 and has developed the project from the beginning. Project construction is expected to commence following financial close in summer 2026, with commercial operations targeted for late 2028. The project represents an investment of approximately €3 billion and supports Germany’s goal of installing 30 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030. Once operational, the project is expected to generate carbon-free electricity to power the more than one million German households annually.
In February 2026, RWE and Amazon entered into a power purchase agreement for 110 MW of offshore wind capacity from the Nordseecluster B project in Germany. The PPA builds on a strategic framework agreement signed in June 2025, under which RWE supports Amazon’s carbon-free energy objectives, while Amazon Web Services provides cloud services, artificial intelligence, and data analytics for RWE’s digital transformation.
REGlobal’s Views: Amazon is one of the largest corporate purchasers of energy in Europe and the world. For this particular project, Amazon has signed a long-term PPA for more than 60 per cent of the project capacity, thereby giving the project much required financial certainty to move ahead and advance construction.
