PSE has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources to buy clean energy from the planned Clearwater Wind Project, located about 60 miles north of Colstrip, Montana, USA.
The agreement will allow PSE to use existing transmission lines from Colstrip, Montana to bring in the energy to its customers in western Washington. The Clearwater Wind Project is expected to come online at the end of 2022. PSE will purchase 350MW of the larger Clearwater Wind Project, which will generate 750 MW, once it’s complete.
