TORONTO, Nov. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northland Power Inc. (“Northland” or the “Company”) (TSX: NPI) announced the signing of a five-year bilateral Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with Shell Energy Europe Ltd (“Shell”) for approximately one‑third of the production from its 332 megawatt Nordsee One offshore wind farm.

Nordsee One is located in the North Sea, in the German Exclusive Economic Zone and was commissioned in December 2017. Northland has an 85% ownership interest in Nordsee One, with the remaining 15% held by RWE Offshore Wind GmbH.
