Düsseldorf, 26 June 2026. Uniper and Skyborn Renewables (“Skyborn”) today announced the signing of a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for electricity from the Gennaker offshore wind project, the largest offshore wind project in the German Baltic Sea.
Under the agreement, Uniper plans to purchase 100 MW of capacity from Gennaker. The contract is scheduled to commence after COD and will run for an initial term of 10 years, with an option to extend.
“Concluding our first ever offshore wind PPA demonstrates our transformation strategy in action. Offshore wind from the German Baltic Sea will deliver reliable, domestically produced low-carbon power adding to our diverse portfolio. This is a deliberate step to strengthen the resilience of our energy system for the long term.”
Michael Lewis, CEO Uniper
“This agreement with Uniper is an important milestone for Gennaker. As our blueprint project, it shows how large-scale offshore wind can be delivered reliably and at scale. I am extremely proud of our teams to make this happen.”
Patrick Lammers, CEO Skyborn
Strengthening a diversified offtake portfolio
The transaction marks Uniper’s first offshore wind PPA and represents an important milestone in delivering on the company’s strategy to expand its renewables portfolio and support the energy transition in Germany. The agreement is a strong strategic fit for Uniper, as the company intends to further grow its PPA business. By adding offshore wind generation, Uniper further diversifies its power portfolio and continues to strengthen its ability to provide sustainable energy solutions to customers over the long term.
Gennaker: a flagship offshore wind project in Germany
With a planned capacity of up to 976.5 MW, Gennaker is set to become the largest offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea. Once operational, it is expected to generate enough electricity to power approximately one million households annually, making a significant contribution to Germany’s energy system. As Skyborn’s blueprint project, Gennaker demonstrates the company’s end-to-end capabilities across the offshore wind value chain: from development and financing to construction and long-term operations. The project will play a key role in delivering large-scale, reliable, domestically produced electricity while supporting energy security and long-term economic value creation.
