EDPR starts commercial operation of 104 MW Crossing trails wind project in Colorado

EDP Renováveis, SA (EDPR), through its subsidiary EDP Renewables North America LLC, has started commercial operation of the 104 MW Crossing Trails wind farm. The company closed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for this wind farm with the non-profit electricity supply cooperative Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association (Tri-State).

The project, located in the US state of Colorado, consists of twenty 4.3 MW wind turbines and five 3.6 MW turbines from Vestas. These are among the most advanced installed in the area to date and are characterised by their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Crossing Trails will produce enough electricity to power the equivalent of about 45,000 homes on average in Colorado each year.
