AT&T signs 160 MW VPPA for 350 MW Frontier Windpower II in US

Duke Energy Renewables has signed a 15-year, 160 megawatt virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) with AT&T for Frontier Windpower II. Duke Energy Renewables is building the 350 MW Frontier II in Kay County, Oklahoma, USA.

The project is an expansion of Frontier Windpower, which has been operational since 2016. Once complete, Frontier I and II will generate a total of 550 MW of wind energy – enough to power approximately 193,000 homes.

Construction for Frontier II is underway, and the wind project will be fully operational by December 2020. Nordex Group will supply 74 4.8 MW wind turbines for the site. It will produce enough energy to power about 123,000 average homes.

Amshore US Wind provided development support for the project, and Wanzek Construction is the contractor.
