Centrica Energy and Saint-Gobain Germany have signed a 10-year corporate power purchase agreement (cPPA) for the offtake of renewable power from the Wadersloh III solar park in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Starting April 2026, Centrica Energy will supply Saint-Gobain with 28 GWh of solar electricity annually under a pay-as-nominated structure. The Wadersloh III solar park has an installed capacity of 21 MW and will contribute to Saint-Gobain’s decarbonisation efforts across its German operations, in line with the Group’s commitment to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

This agreement marks another step in Centrica Energy’s strategy to support industrial partners in their energy consumption transition by enabling access to long-term, stable, and traceable renewable energy sources across Europe.

We’re proud to partner with Saint-Gobain on this long-term agreement, which reflects our shared commitment to accelerating the energy transition. By linking renewable generation directly with industrial demand, we’re helping to decarbonise manufacturing while delivering reliable, traceable green power. This cPPA is a great example of how a partnership with a shared vision can drive real impact.

Securing renewable electricity through this agreement with Centrica Energy is a significant milestone on our journey towards net zero carbon emissions. It enables us to make tangible progress in reducing our environmental impact across our German operations. We believe that partnerships like this are essential for building a more sustainable future - not just for Saint-Gobain Germany, but for the communities and industries we serve.
