British water and sewerage services provider Yorkshire Water has sealed a power purchase agreement (PPA) to source electricity from a 37.2-MW wind farm in the Scottish Highlands.
The deal will enable Yorkshire Water to cover roughly 17% of its annual power demand of its operations with green electricity. The power will come from the Strathrory park, developed by Germany’s Energiekontor AG (ETR:EKT) and sold to global private asset manager Capital Dynamics last October.

Currently under construction near Ardross and Alness, the wind farm will be equipped with seven turbines that are expected to generate around 100,000 MWh of electricity annually. It should become operational in late 2025.
“Once completed, the Strathrory Wind Farm will provide approximately 17% of our annual power needs, increasing our renewable energy use, reducing our exposure to energy price volatility and reducing the operational costs of our sites, which will provide better value for money for our customers,” said Daniel Oxley, Yorkshire Water’s commercial programme manager.
Yorkshire Water has set a goal for achieving carbon net zero operations by the end of the decade.
