EnBW and Siemens Energy sign first Power Purchase Agreement

Berlin/Karlsruhe. EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG (EnBW) and Siemens Energy have signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for the Frankenförde photovoltaic plant in Brandenburg. The solar park is located approximately 60 kilometers from Berlin and was completed in June 2025. It will supply Siemens Energy with green electricity for a ten-year contract term starting 1 January 2026.

Siemens Energy has met its entire global electricity needs with green electricity since 2023, documented with internationally recognized certificates of origin. The energy technology group has now gone one step further with the newly signed power purchase agreement (PPA) securing around 40 gigawatt-hours per year from the new solar park near Berlin. The plant has a capacity of 40.8 megawatts peak (MWp). Siemens Energy is the sole purchaser of the green electricity generated by the plant and will meet almost a quarter of the electricity requirements for its German sites under the PPA.

“This power purchase agreement gives us a long-term supply of regionally generated renewable energy for our German sites. That further enhances our security of supply, reduces emissions and contributes to the structural transformation of the energy system. Partnerships like these are a further building block toward making our business activities climate-neutral by 2030,” said Dieter Vollkommer, Head of Sustainability at Siemens Energy.

David Beaton, Commercial Director Trading at EnBW, said: “We are delighted to support Siemens Energy on its journey to greater sustainability. By providing tailored solutions for the supply of energy, we are making a direct contribution to decarbonizing industry.”

For EnBW, the agreement is the latest in a string of successes strengthening its position as a leading PPA provider, Beaton added.

The agreement also marks another milestone in a close, longstanding partnership between EnBW and Siemens Energy. The two companies already have a track record of joint projects that contribute to secure and sustainable energy supplies. These include the construction of a new hydrogen-ready gas-fired power plant in Stuttgart-Münster, the Hohe See and Albatros offshore wind farms in the North Sea – which together supply more than 630 megawatts of green electricity for the equivalent of around 710,000 households – and collaboration on the SuedLink project, a key cable link to transmit renewable energy from the windy north of Germany to where demand is centered in the south.

This unique value proposition is also the focus of the current image campaign, “Unsere Energie Bewegt Was” (“Our Energy Moves Things”), promoting future-ready, efficient energy infrastructure and smart, innovative energy solutions for people, employees and communities throughout Germany. In the company’s transformation from a traditional energy provider to a sustainable infrastructure group, the expansion of renewable energy sources and of the distribution and transportation grids for electricity and gas, including hydrogen, are cornerstones of EnBW’s growth strategy and the focus of its investment spending. EnBW plans to invest up to €50 billion by 2030, around 85 percent of which will be in Germany. By then, renewables are planned to account for around 80% of the EnBW generation portfolio, with coal to be phased out by the end of 2028 provided conditions allow. These are key milestones on the way to the company’s carbon neutrality by 2035. .
