The power will be sourced from the London Array offshore wind farm in the outer Thames Estuary, which is operated by RWE and owned by a consortium including Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, Greencoat UK Wind PLC, and Masdar Energy UK Limited.
The wind farm has 175 wind turbines and an installed capacity of 630MW.
This agreement, states RWE in a release, will see significant savings for the five co-operatives throughout the lifetime of the corporate PPA. It will also help to reduce the businesses carbon footprint.
The PPA was negotiated by Inspired PLC and Shoosmiths LLP led the legal negotiations.
