Energy trading company Danske Commodities has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with e.optimum, which is the largest independent energy purchasing group in Germany. Through the agreement, roughly 48,000 households can be supplied with renewable electricity from wind turbines.
e.optimum and Danske Commodities have strengthened their partnership with their first German wind PPA together. The new and bespoke PPA marks a significant expansion of the partnership between e.optimum and Danske Commodities, which began earlier this year with a trading agreement signed in January 2025.
Under the PPA, Danske Commodities secures renewable electricity from its portfolio of German wind turbines. This includes a pay-as-forecasted model, with approximately 180 GWh delivered to e.optimum between July 2025 and December 2026. The size of the deal corresponds to roughly the consumption of 48,000 households and will enable e.optimum, which is the largest independent energy purchasing group in Germany, to deliver renewable energy to its customers.
'The collaboration with Danske Commodities marks a significant step in our mission to transform the German energy market into a more sustainable one. We are proud to be working with such a respected partner to secure reliable and cost-efficient energy for our customers. This partnership highlights our commitment to actively support the energy transition in Germany,' emphasized Boris Käser, Chairman of the Executive Board at e.optimum.
'We are proud to announce a strengthened partnership with e.optimum that includes a bespoke wind PPA fit for their needs. Danske Commodities has a proven track record in matching production and consumption through energy trading, and we look forward to supporting e.optimum in their aim to provide cost-efficient energy for their customers,' said Sofie Duedahl, Head of European Origination at Danske Commodities.
Danske Commodities has a strategic ambition to support the ongoing energy transition in Germany by offering energy market services to both producers and offtakers of energy. The energy trader has been active in the German market since 2004 and currently manages more than 6 GW of renewable energy. This places Danske Commodities in the top five in the German Direktvermarktung market.
'Germany is not only a core trading market for us, but also the location of the majority of the renewables assets we have under management. Building on 20 years of trading experience, our aim is to be a preferred partner for German energy producers and large-scale consumers,' said Duedahl.
Danske Commodities currently manages a portfolio of more than 15 GW across Europe.
