EDP Renewables North America has secured two Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) to sell the energy produced from its Broadlands wind farm project. A 15-year PPA for 50MW has been secured with a Commercial & Industrial (C&I) entity and a 20-year PPA for 100MW has been secured with Wabash Valley Power Association.
Broadlands wind farm is located in the state of Illinois, US, with start of operations expected for 2019. EDPR has already secured 1.6GW of wind energy long-term agreements in the US for projects to be installed in 2016-2020. With these new arrangements, EDPR has now contracted 90% of the 3.5GW targeted global capacity additions for 2016-2020 period.
