RWE has signed two 15-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Microsoft Corporation. Under the PPAs, Microsoft will purchase clean electricity from two new RWE onshore wind farms in Texas, USA.
The official groundbreaking for the RWE Peyton Creek II onshore wind farm has just taken place, and for the Lane City project, RWE has made the investment decision. The two onshore wind projects have a combined capacity of 446 MW. RWE will use the V163 4.5 MW turbines from Vestas North America. RWE has enlisted Wanzek and RES to lead construction activities at Peyton Creek II and Lane City on behalf of RWE. Construction of the Peyton Creek Wind Complex is underway. The 243 MW project is located near RWE’s Peyton Creek I wind farm in Bay City, Texas, which has been in operation since March 2020. Construction of the Lane City project will start this summer. It has a capacity of 203 MW.
