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.
This deal marks the latest milestone in the successful
collaboration between Engelhart and e.optimum, a partnership that
has already delivered guarantees of origin (GOs) to e.optimum’s
extensive customer base, consisting of over 45,000 companies and
businesses.
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.

solidifying our commitment to providing our customers with
sustainable energy solutions. By harnessing the power of onshore
wind, we are not only reinforcing our dedication to renewable
energy but also empowering our customers to achieve their
environmental objectives. This agreement is a testament to our
