Karlsruhe, Germany / Groot-Bijgaarden, Belgium. EnBW Energie Baden-Wuerttemberg AG (EnBW) and international supplier of food ingredients and services, Puratos, have signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), securing the supply of solar-generated electricity for Puratos’ operations in Spain. The renewable energy contract between the two companies has started in 2025, covering 25 GWh annually for more than eight years and includes Guarantees of Origin (GoO).

EnBW's extensive international portfolio and dedicated expertise make them a great partner.”
