EDPR, EBCE sign PPA for 100 MW Sonrisa Solar Park in US

EDP Renováveis (EDPR), through its fully owned subsidiary EDP Renewables North America LLC, has secured a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), with East Bay Community Energy (EBCE), to sell 100 MW of solar energy and 30 MW of energy storage from the Sonrisa Solar Park.

The Sonrisa Solar Park project, which is expected to commence operations in 2022, is located in the state of California and will be EDPR’s first large scale renewable project with storage. The combination of solar with energy storage system was designed to increase efficiency and provide greater balance in energy supply.

With this new contract, EDPR has now secured 1.7 GW of long-term energy agreements in the U.S. for projects to be installed until 2022.
