EDF has signed a seven-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with developer Brockwell Energy to purchase renewable energy from North Kyle onshore wind farm, which is currently under construction in East Ayrshire, Scotland.
As part of the agreement EDF will offtake 100% of the renewable wind energy produced by the 220.5MW wind farm once the site becomes commercially operational in early 2025. Once complete, the wind farm will be capable of delivering approximately 630GWh of clean, green renewable energy each year. The North Kyle onshore wind farm is to be built on or around a former coal mining site. Brockwell Energy was formed in 2017 to raise investment capital to develop an £800 million portfolio of energy projects, predominantly in Scotland, on and around former coal mining sites.
