BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Global Commodities and Renewable Energy Trader, Engelhart, is pleased to announce the signing of a new Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with e.optimum, one of Germany's largest independent energy suppliers.

The agreement secures renewable energy from dedicated German onshore wind assets, with electricity delivery scheduled between February and December 2025. With a total capacity of approximately 86MW, the deal will generate enough power to supply around 35,000 households.

By strengthening e.optimum’s ability to provide clean, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions, the PPA enables corporate and industrial customers to achieve their sustainability goals with greater confidence. In addition to enhancing e.optimum’s renewable energy offerings, the agreement contributes directly to Germany’s Energiewende - the country’s strategy to transition to a net zero-carbon economy by 2045.
