Amazon and Skyborn Renewables have signed a 600-megawatt power purchase agreement (PPA) for electricity from the Gennaker offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea. According to BloombergNEF data cited by the two companies, it is the largest single corporate PPA ever concluded in Germany and one of the largest in Europe.
The long-term offtake gives Skyborn the financial certainty to move into construction. Gennaker will reach a total capacity of up to 976.5 MW, making it the largest offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea. It will sit roughly 15 kilometres north of the Fischland-Darss-Zingst peninsula in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, use 63 turbines of 15 MW each, and is expected to generate enough electricity for the equivalent of more than one million households once operational.
Skyborn secured the construction permit in December 2025. Building work is due to start after financial close in summer 2026, with commissioning expected toward the end of 2028. The project represents a EUR 3 billion investment in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and its monopile foundations will be manufactured by EEW Special Pipe Constructions in Rostock, about 40 kilometres from the site, securing work at a plant that employs around 1,000 people.
For Amazon, this is the company’s largest single carbon-free energy agreement in Germany. It lifts the firm’s German renewable portfolio to more than 1.3 GW across 12 projects and underlines its position as Europe’s largest corporate buyer of clean power. The 600 MW contract covers about 61% of Gennaker’s capacity.
The deal matters beyond Germany. It adds to a thickening pipeline of offshore wind in the southern Baltic, where Germany and Poland are both scaling up, and shows how corporate offtake is becoming central to financing large Baltic projects rather than relying on state-backed contracts alone.
