RWE and Amazon have signed a power purchase agreement for 110 megawatts of electricity from the Nordseecluster B offshore wind farm in Germany. The agreement involves capacity from the second phase of a project located in the North Sea, approximately 50 kilometres north of the island of Juist.
According to RWE, the 110 megawatts of capacity is expected to generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of more than 139,000 German households annually.
This arrangement follows a strategic framework agreement signed in June 2025. Under that broader partnership, Amazon Web Services provides cloud services, artificial intelligence, and data analytics to RWE, while the energy company supports Amazon with power capacity.
The Nordseecluster project is being developed in two distinct stages. The first phase, Nordseecluster A, has a capacity of 660 megawatts and is currently under construction, with operations scheduled to begin in early 2027.
The second phase, Nordseecluster B, will contribute an additional 900 megawatts, with commercial operations expected to start in 2029, the companies stated.
RWE holds a 51 per cent stake in the wind farm, while Norges Bank Investment Management holds the remaining 49 per cent.
The companies noted that this agreement marks their first collaboration on such a project outside the United States.
