The 15-year agreement covers a supply of approximately 50 GWh of generated green electricity per year and will cover more than 50 per cent of TMD’s total demand in Germany from 2027.

“The cooperation with leading companies from the German SME sector is a central component of our growth strategy in Germany. The global expansion of the partnership with TMD Friction is already planned. Currently, we are jointly exploring further green energy initiatives in the UK and Brazil,” said Felipe Montero, CEO of Iberdrola Deutschland.

Located about 38 kilometres northeast of the Jasmund National Park on the German island of Rügen, the Windanker offshore wind farm, which is currently in the planning stage, will comprise 21 wind turbines of the 15 MW class that are planned to be connected to the grid in 2026.
