RWE has signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian for the electricity from an upgraded RWE wind project in West Texas.
Under the 15-year PPA, electricity from RWE’s Champion Wind, a 127MW wind farm in Nolan and Mitchell Counties, will help supply Rivian’s fast-charging network, the Rivian Adventure Network, with 100% renewable energy. The Champion Wind farm is currently undergoing upgrades to install new turbine nacelles and blades, extending the facility's lifetime. The repowering of Champion Wind is expected to be completed by mid-2025.
