Centrica Energy signs PPAs for 266.4 MW onshore wind farms in Finland

Centrica Energy Trading has signed three long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Taaleri Energia for output from three operational wind farms in Finland and Sweden with a total capacity of 266.4 MW.

Taaleri Energia has agreed to a ten-year PPA under which Centrica will off-take Taaleri Energia’s power production across three wind farms located in Finland and Sweden.

Under the agreements, Centrica Energy Trading will be responsible for balancing and nomination of the 126 MW Isoneva wind farm in the municipality of Siikajoki in northwestern Finland and 126 MW Murtoluuli wind farm located in the municipality of Posio in Lapland, Finland. It consists of 21 V162-6.0 MW turbines.

Furthermore, Centrica will be responsible for balancing the 14.4 MW Målajord wind farm located in the municipality of Växjö in Southern Sweden. Using its three Nordex N149 turbines, the facility produces approximately 50 GWh, enough electricity to supply around 5,000 households and offsets the equivalent of 6,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide during each year of operation.
