  In December 2025, RWE signed a five-year Power Purchase Agreement with Thames Water, the UK’s largest water company serving 16 million customers. Under this deal, RWE will supply 132 GWh of clean electricity annually from its Camster onshore wind farm in Caithness, Scotland.

  “Our purpose is to deliver life's essential service, so our customers, communities and the environment can thrive. We´re committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and transforming the way we generate, purchase and use energy. It takes a significant amount of energy to keep taps flowing and toilets flushing, and energy is one of our greatest costs. Power Purchase Agreements are a mechanism which allow us to buy renewable energy at a fixed cost for a sustained period of time. This agreement will help us manage future planning for energy costs.”

  Five UK Co-operatives – A Landmark 10-Year Agreement

  In April 2025, RWE partnered with five independent retail co-operatives—Central Co-op, Lincolnshire Co-op, Scotmid Co-op, East of England Co-op, and Southern Co-op—to sign a 10-year Corporate PPA.

  This agreement will deliver 53 GWh of green electricity annually to over 400 locations, including food stores, funeral homes, and travel agencies. The power comes from the London Array offshore wind farm, one of the world’s largest, with 175 turbines and 630 MW capacity.

  “At Co-op, we’re delighted to announce this further Power Purchase Agreement signing, as we continue to strengthen our energy purchasing strategy by making impactful changes across our business. For the sake of people and planet, it’s vital that collectively we tackle the climate crisis. The energy transition is central to energy security and therefore national security too. That’s why we believe that every business should be playing its part to help green the grid, be that by reducing their energy demand or indeed by ensuring that renewable electricity generation forms an integral part of their energy procurement decisions.”
