• The renewed deal covers about 200GWh a year, equal to roughly 40% of Orange Polska’s electricity demand
  • Orange says the new terms lower its energy rates, but it has not disclosed the contract price or quantified the expected savings

The fact

Orange Polska has extended its power-purchase agreement with EDF power solutions Polska through 2035, adding five years to a contract that had been due to expire in 2030. The agreement covers about 200GWh of wind-generated electricity a year, equivalent to roughly 40% of the operator’s total electricity demand.

Orange says the renewed terms carry lower energy rates and provide greater certainty over electricity costs, although it has not disclosed the contract price or quantified the expected savings. In 2025, the company reported that renewable sources covered 100% of its electricity consumption and that its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were 93% lower than in 2020. Its renewable sourcing included long-term PPAs as well as guarantees of origin purchased separately.

The assessment

Because Orange had already reported 100% renewable electricity for 2025, the renewal does not increase its stated renewable share. What changes is the structure of its future procurement: about 200GWh a year will remain under a long-term EDF contract through 2035, giving Orange more certainty over a sizeable portion of its electricity demand. The financial benefit cannot yet be measured because the contract price and comparison benchmark have not been disclosed.

For BTW readers, the useful distinction is between renewable coverage and procurement certainty. The EDF agreement covers about 40% of current demand, so Orange still has to source the remainder through other arrangements. How much protection the extension ultimately provides will depend on future electricity consumption, the terms of those other contracts and market prices.

What to watch

Watch Orange’s annual electricity use and energy costs to see whether the contracted 200GWh continues to cover about 40% of demand and whether the company eventually quantifies the savings from the renewed rates. Future disclosures on other PPAs and standalone guarantees of origin should also show how Orange sources the remaining electricity. Details of the EDF contract price or the wind assets covered by the agreement would provide a clearer view of its economics.
