German independent power producer Tion Renewables GmbH has signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with IONITY GmbH, one of Europe’s largest high-performance electric vehicle charging operators. Under the deal, Tion will supply IONITY’s charging network in Germany with solar-generated electricity starting from 2027, providing the operator with stable, long-term access to renewable power as its network expands across the continent.
IONITY currently operates more than 6,000 charging points across 24 European countries and has already powered over two billion kilometres of electric driving using renewable energy. The PPA with Tion Renewables is designed to meet growing demand at scale, securing green electricity supply as fast-charging infrastructure continues to roll out. “Together with Tion, we are securing renewable electricity on a large scale to operate our European charging network,” said Michael Garding, Head of Energy Management at IONITY.
Tion Renewables, headquartered in Munich and backed by the EQT Group, develops, acquires, and operates photovoltaic and onshore wind projects as well as battery energy storage systems in selected European markets. The company focuses on generating stable, long-term revenue through contracts such as PPAs and feed-in tariff arrangements. “This partnership strengthens the long-term access of IONITY to renewable energy and at the same time supports the expansion of a reliable and climate-neutral public charging infrastructure in Europe,” said David Willemsen, CCO and CDO at Tion.
The deal illustrates the growing intersection between renewable energy developers and the electromobility sector, as EV charging networks seek to underpin their sustainability credentials with direct renewable procurement. For onshore wind and solar producers operating in Germany, long-term offtake agreements with large infrastructure operators such as IONITY represent an increasingly important route to market.
