Bremen, 10 October 2023 – Energiekontor AG (“Energiekontor”), a leading German project developer and operator of wind and solar parks listed in the General Standard, has successfully taken part in a British tender process. The Bremen-based company has secured a fixed electricity price for five Scottish wind park projects.
The fifth round of auctions saw the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) allocate contracts for difference (CFDs), covering a total of more than 240 megawatts, for the five Scottish wind park projects Fell, Garbet, Hare Craig, Lairg II and Margree. The electricity feed-in tariff set under this procedure amounts to around 73 pounds per megawatt-hour on average. The strike price is indexed annually to inflation and has no upper limit. The contract has a term of 15 years.
“My congratulations to our UK team on this success,” says Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG. “Winning the contract is the reward for our constant efforts to stay ahead of the competition. We have been awarded a very attractive feed-in tariff that will make it easier for us to realise the five Scottish wind park projects going forward.”
