Odido signs ten-year PPA with Dutch onshore wind farm

Odido has signed a ten-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Willem Annapolder II Wind Farm in the Netherlands. Once completed, the wind farm will supply 30% of Odido’s total green electricity needs.

The agreement aligns well with Odido’s broader sustainability goals. The telecom provider has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2028. Previously, Odido has already taken several concrete steps to realize its sustainability ambitions, including exclusively using 100% renewable electricity, fully electrifying its vehicle fleet, and eliminating the use of new plastic packaging materials in its logistics chain.

With this collaboration, Odido marks a new step in the sustainability of its energy needs by committing to purchase all the electricity generated by the four wind turbines.

“By committing to long-term projects such as Wind Farm Willem Annapolder II, we ensure that sustainable energy initiatives truly get off the ground,” says Gero Niemeyer, CFO of Odido. “With this initiative, we are making a tangible contribution to the sustainability of the Netherlands while taking the next step in reducing our carbon footprint.”

Willem Annapolder Wind Farm

The Willem Annapolder II onshore wind farm is an initiative of energy cooperative Zeewind, Triodos Bank and Ronnie Rijk. The wind farm, located in the Dutch municipality of Kapelle, province of Zeeland, will feature 4 Vestas wind turbines, type V150, each with a capacity of 4.5 MW. These replace the original 10 NEG Micon turbines from 2003. Construction is already underway, with the first pile driven earlier this month. The new wind turbines are expected to produce approximately 58,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of green electricity annually. The four wind turbines are expected to be operational by the end of 2025.
