EDPR increases capacity of Broadlands wind project in Illinois with new PPA

EDP Renováveis, SA (EDPR), through its fully owned subsidiary EDP Renewables North America LLC, has secured an additional Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to sell the energy produced from its Broadlands wind project, located in the US state of Illinois.

In May 2018, EDPR secured two PPAs for the project, for 50 MW and 100 MW capacity. With this new arrangement, EDPR increases Broadlands contracted capacity from 150 MW to 200 MW. The new long-term PPA for 50 MW has been secured with a company from the energy sector. EDPR has not disclosed further details.

Broadlands wind farm is expected to commence operations in 2019.
