EDPR signs a 302 MW Build and Transfer Agreement with NIPSCO for a wind farm in Indiana

EDP Renewables, through its fully-owned subsidiary, EDP Renewables North America LLC, has reached an agreement with Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO), a subsidiary of NiSource Inc., to build and transfer a 302 MW wind farm in the US state of Indiana. The wind farm is expected to be built and operational in 2021.

The Indiana Crossroads Wind Farm was selected through a Request for Proposal solicitation that NIPSCO ran as part of its 2018 Integrated Resource Plan, which found that wind and solar resources represented lower cost options for its clients in comparison to other energy resources. Indiana Crossroads will bring economic benefits to the state of Indiana and the local communities through the creation of jobs during construction and operations, revenues for Government and landowners, as well as increased spending at various businesses near the project. The wind farm will also power more than 83,000 average Indiana homes with clean electricity.
