Enel, Hood sign PPA for 350 MW Azure Sky project in Throckmorton County

Enel Green Power North America, Inc. and HP Hood LLC have signed an agreement for Hood to purchase 90 GWh of wind energy each year, making it one of the only dairy companies in the US to execute such a contract. Through the 12-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA), Hood will purchase the electricity delivered to the grid by a 25 MW portion of Enel Green Power's Azure Sky Wind project in Texas.

Over the life of the VPPA, the Azure Sky Wind project will generate approximately 90 gigawatt hours (GWh) of renewable electricity annually, addressing 33 percent of the electricity used across all 13 of Hood's owned manufacturing facilities in 2020. Hood was advised in their selection and negotiation process by Schneider Electric.
