The deal with Centrica comes on the heels of several supply agreements signed by Deutsche Bahn in recent months. These include a 50-MW PPA for the offshore wind farm Trianel Windpark Borkum I and a deal for 20 MW from the He Dreiht wind farm project in the North Sea. A third agreement envisages the supply of about 18,000 MWh annually from a solar park in northern Germany.
At present, Centrica Energy Trading manages around 2,500 MW of solar and wind resources in Germany and plans to further expand the portfolio.
