Delivery firm DHL to buy power from German offshore wind farm | Windpower Monthly

Delivery firm DHL Group has agreed to buy power from RWE’s 342MW Kaskasi wind farm in the German North Sea through a long-term power purchase agreement.

From 2026, DHL will buy around 104GWh of electricity per year from Kaskasi – enough to meet around 19% of its current annual electricity demand in Germany, the delivery firm stated.
