Clean Power Alliance signs PPA for 300 MW White Hills wind farm near Hoover Dam
Clean Power Alliance (CPA) signed a power purchase agreement with a new utility-scale wind farm.
The PPA is signed for 300 MW from the White Hills Wind project in Arizona. It is located near Hoover Dam and will be owned and operated by NextEra Energy Resources. The project, which comes online in December 2020 with a 20-year term contract, will count as a PCC-1 renewable resource.
White Hills project will enable CPA to lower costs, including reducing the premium between its 100% Green and 50% Clean and 36% Lean Power rates to incentivize more customers to increase their renewable energy rate tiers. It will also allow CPA to comply with state renewable energy mandates in a cost effective and expeditious manner given its 2020 online date.
The developer has committed to contributing US$1 million toward local workforce development initiatives in Clean Power Alliance’s service territory over four years. The project has completed the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) permitting process and construction is anticipated to begin in early 2020.
