The deal
UrbanChain connects contracted renewable generation to end users through data-driven, time- and location-matched energy trading. On 31 December 2025 it went live on a multi-year, offshore wind-backed corporate PPA with a major, investment-grade European renewable generator.
The agreement covers over 120 GWh a year of UK grid-scale offshore wind, roughly the annual consumption of 31,000 UK households on Ofgem’s typical figures. It is UrbanChain’s largest generation agreement to date, and it took its contracted renewable generation in Scotland to an all-time high.
Our role
Export Energy originated the deal. On one side was a generator with large-scale offshore wind output to contract over a long term. On the other was an offtaker whose model depends on power that can be traced to real assets and matched to demand by time and location. We identified the fit and brought the two parties together.
It is the kind of transaction the firm is built for: we work for generators who need a route to market and for buyers who need clean power they can evidence, and the best outcomes come when both sides of the same contract are understood from the start.
Why it matters
- For the generator. Multi-year offtake for offshore wind output, with a counterparty whose business is built on placing that power with end users.
- For UrbanChain. A step change in contracted generation, supporting supply to data centres, EV charging networks and other energy-intensive infrastructure.
- For end users. Clean energy that is traceable and grounded in a real asset, matched by time and location rather than settled once a year against certificates. Why hourly matching matters.
“This is a defining deal for UrbanChain. It is our largest generation agreement so far, taking our available generation in Scotland to a new high.”
