Germany's landmark wind deal.

Skyborn Renewables chief development officer Adam Thomsen called the PPA a “defining milestone,” saying Gennaker is a “blueprint for delivering large-scale offshore wind in a reliable and scalable manner,” and emphasized the need to pair generation with the infrastructure required for a “more resilient energy system.”

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania minister-president Manuela Schwesig said the deal sends “a hugely important message” for the state, adding that building large volumes of power off the coast is “highly attractive for energy-intensive industries” and “creates jobs and long-term value in the region.”

Amazon and Skyborn said Amazon is “the largest corporate buyer of carbon-free energy in Europe,” and noted that the US multinational set a 2019 goal to achieve “carbon neutrality in all its operations by 2040.”
