据世界能源新闻11月12日消息称，全球能源公司E.ON已签署协议，从英国的风电场购买RWE可再生能源公司的清洁能源。
这份为期两年半的协议将购买20多个英国风力发电场的产出，为电网提供可持续的电力，并支持E.ON为其英国客户提供100％可再生电力的承诺。
根据这项购电协议（PPA），E.ON每年从英国各地由RWE运营的风力发电场购买约3太瓦时的电力。它它覆盖了892兆瓦的陆上和海上风力发电能力，包括目前世界第二大海上风电场伦敦阵列的一部分。
今年早些时候，E.ON宣布它将为全英国所有的居民客户提供100%可再生能源支持的电力供应—按标准收取所有关税，不收取额外费用。
风电场最初由E.ON建造，是该公司过去10年在英国可再生能源领域投资33亿英镑的一部分。
E.ON英国首席执行官Michael Lewis表示：“我们承诺为所有居民客户提供可再生电力，这是英国前所未有的变化，事实是，近年来，我们在英国可再生能源领域的投资超过33亿英镑。
“我们现在已经确保了来自所有这些风力发电场的电力，以及我们在全国各地与十几家独立发电机的类似安排，这意味着我们的客户可以继续享受由英国可再生能源支持的电力供应。但是，能源的未来并不止于此–为了应对气候变化，我们现在专注于帮助客户通过智能、个性化和可持续的技术更好地管理他们的能源，比如太阳能和电池技术、热泵和电动汽车充电器。”
RWE的最新子公司RWE可再生能源公司的装机容量超过9GW。除此之外，还有一些资产正在建设中，总容量为2.6GW，将在不久的将来完工。
RWE可再生能源公司首席商务官Tom Glover表示：“英国，我们已经运营了超过2000兆瓦的可再生能源工厂，由于其良好的运行框架，对RWE集团来说是一个非常有吸引力的市场。PPA是极为重要的工具，有助于实现可再生建设目标，并为所有相关方提供稳定。”
增长可再生能源是RWE的明确目标，RWE是世界第二大海上风力发电公司，也是欧洲第三大可再生发电公司–这些都是公司打算巩固和加强这些地位。该公司还设定了在未来20年内成为碳中性公司的目标，并每年提供15亿欧元的净资本支出。
电力购买协议（PPA）被公认为是公司和能源供应商获得长期价格确定性并以具有成本效益的方式实现具有挑战性的可持续性目标的最可行方法之一。

E.ON, RWE Renewables Sign Clean Power Deal
Global energy company E.ON has signed an agreement to purchase clean energy from British wind farms of RWE Renewables.
The 2.5-year agreement is on purchasing the output of more than 20 British wind farms, supplying sustainable power to the grid and supporting E.ON’s commitment to provide 100% renewable power for its UK customers.
With this power purchase agreement (PPA) E.ON buys around 3TWh of power annually from wind farms around Great Britain which are operated by RWE. It covers a capacity of 892MW of onshore and offshore wind generation and includes a proportion of the London Array, currently the world’s second largest offshore wind farm.
Earlier this year E.ON announced it was providing all of its residential customers across Britain with an electricity supply backed by 100% renewable sources – on all tariffs, as standard, and at no extra cost.
The wind farms were originally built by E.ON as part of the company’s ￡3.3bn investment in UK renewables over the last decade.
Michael Lewis, E.ON UK Chief Executive, said: “A significant element of our commitment to providing all our residential customers with renewable electricity – a change at a scale never seen before in Britain – was the fact we have invested more than ￡3.3bn in renewable energy in the UK in recent years.
“We have now secured the power coming from all those wind farms, as well as similar arrangements we have with more than a dozen independent generators around the country, which means our customers can continue to enjoy an electricity supply backed by UK renewables. But the future of energy doesn’t stop here – to combat the climate change we are now focusing on helping our customers to better manage their energy through smart, personalised and sustainable technologies such as solar and battery technology, heat pumps and electric vehicle chargers.”
RWE Renewables, the newest subsidiary of RWE has an installed capacity of more than 9GW. Added to this are further assets with a combined capacity of 2.6GW under construction that will be completed in the near future.
Tom Glover, Chief Commercial Officer RWE Renewables, said: “Great Britain, where we already operate over 2,000MW of renewable energy plants, is a very attractive market for RWE due to its well-functioning framework. PPAs as are an extremely important instrument that help to achieve renewable build-out targets and offer stability for all parties involved.”
Growing renewable energy is the clear focus of RWE who are the world’s number 2 in offshore wind and Europe’s number 3 in renewable generation – these are positions the company intends to consolidate and strengthen. The company has also set out its goal to become a carbon neutral company within the next 20 years and provide 1.5 billion euros annually in net capital expenditure.
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are widely regarded as one of the most viable methods for companies and energy suppliers to secure long-term price certainty and meet challenging sustainability targets in a cost-effective way.
