Fraport signs PPA for 85 MW from He Dreiht Offshore wind farm in North Sea

Fraport AG, the publicly listed operator of Frankfurt Airport, and EnBW have finalized a corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA) for the supply of electricity from the 900 MW He Dreiht Offshore wind farm in the North Sea off the coast of Germany. 

The long-term contract guarantees Fraport 85 MW from the offshore wind project. The CPPA comes into force in the second half of 2026, and has a term of 15 years. The agreement will enable Fraport to transition a substantial portion of electricity consumption at its Frankfurt Airport home base to green energy. The wind-generated power will be also used to illuminate the Frankfurt Airport’s apron and four runways, and to charge the fleet of more than 500 electric vehicles (EVs) on the airfield.
