EDF Renewables purchases 300 MW Nebraska Wind Project
EDF Renewables North America has closed on a purchase agreement with York Nebraska Wind Partners, LLC, a partnership comprised of Aksamit Resource Management, LLC and York Capital Management for 100% of the interests in the 300 MW Milligan 1 Wind Project located in Nebraska. The project is currently in development with anticipated operation to commence in late 2020.
The project, sited in Saline County in southern Nebraska, will sell its generated energy and Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) into the Southwest Power Pool. Milligan 1 Wind marks the first project for EDF Renewables in Nebraska.
The expected electricity generated at full capacity is enough to meet the consumption of up to 115,000 average homes. This is equivalent to avoiding more than 900,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually, according to US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies calculations, which represents the greenhouse gas emissions from 190,000 passenger vehicles driven over the course of one year.
EDF Renewables is one of the largest renewable energy developers in North America with 15 gigawatts of wind, solar, storage, projects developed throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
