EDPR, Microsoft sign PPA deal for the 125 MW Timber Road IV Wind Farm
EDP Renewables SA (EDPR), through its unit EDP Renewables North America, and Microsoft Corporation has signed a 15-year power purchase agreement deal for the 125 MW Timber Road IV Wind Farm located in Paulding County in Ohio, USA.
The 125 MW Timber Road IV Wind Farm is expected to be operational in 2019 and will produce enough clean electricity to annually power more than 36,000 average Ohio homes. The wind farm will also yield employment opportunities — approximately 200 full-time equivalent jobs during construction (expected to commence in several months following approval from the Ohio Power Siting Board on Feb. 21, 2019) and seven full-time positions during operations.
The wind project is expected to generate approximately US$1.1 million each year in annual property tax revenue for the local government as well as land lease payments to area farmers and landowners.
