Orange Romania has signed a ten-year virtual power purchase agreement (vPPA) with Engie Romania to procure around 40GWh of wind energy per year from one of Engie Romania’s wind farms.

This is the second vPPA between the two companies. A six-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) was signed in 2023 that covered 30GWh of Orange Romania’s electricity consumption with solar power.

Orange Romania is committed to a net carbon zero target by 2040. This agreement contributes to that goal by ensuring a substantial portion of its energy needs are met with renewable sources. In 2024, Orange Romania, one of the country’s largest operators, with more than 11 million local customers, says it achieved its target of 93% of its energy consumption coming from renewable sources.

Engie Romania, a power producer and distributor, operates 211MW of renewables in Romania, distributed between three wind farms totalling 178MW and five solar plants with a combined installed capacity of 33MW. The company aims to reach 1GW of installed renewables capacity in the country by 2030.
