• Shell plans to use a proportion of the power to produce green hydrogen
• The PPA will commence in June 2027

Oststeinbek, Germany, November 18, 2025 – Nordsee One GmbH (“Nordsee One”) announced the signing of a 5-year Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with Shell Energy Europe Ltd (“Shell”) for approximately one-third of the annual output from its 332-megawatt Nordsee One offshore wind farm.  

The PPA will commence in June 2027 and a proportion of the renewable power will supply the REFHYNE 2 hydrogen electrolyser under construction at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland.

The 100 MW electrolyser will produce renewable hydrogen, helping to decarbonise energy products, from transport fuels to chemicals, which are produced at the facility and used across Europe.

“This corporate PPA for carbon free electricity will deliver steady economic and environmental value for all its partners and show the potential for offshore wind to support the decarbonisation of the German industry” said Till Frohloff, Managing Director of Nordsee One GmbH.

Andy Beard, President for Hydrogen, Shell said: “Through this renewable power agreement, we are bringing together our advanced trading capabilities and our Low Carbon Solutions expertise to decarbonise Shell’s operations and customer products with pioneering renewable hydrogen technology. This is an exciting milestone in progressing the REFHYNE 2 project and showcases Shell’s strategy of delivering more value with less emissions.”

Nordsee One is located north of the German island of Juist. The project entered into commercial operation in December 2017. Northland Power Inc. holds an 85 percent ownership interest in the project entity, with the remaining 15 percent held by RWE.
