Tenaska has signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with Associated Electric Cooperative with a capacity of approximately 236MW of renewable power from a wind project in northwest Missouri, USA.
The Tenaska Clear Creek Energy Center project, currently in development, is located near Maryville in Nodaway County. Under the terms of the 25-year PPA the project is anticipated to be operational in 2020. The wind farm will be comprised of 100 to 120 wind turbines able to produce 2 to 3 megawatts each. Vestas is currently anticipated to supply the wind turbines and provide maintenance services for the project. Construction is expected to begin in 2019.
