Energy Transfer signs 15-year PPA with Recurrent Energy for 28 MW Maplewood 2 solar project

Canadian Solar Inc. through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Recurrent Energy, LLC, is currently constructing the 28 MWac Maplewood 2 Solar Project for Energy Transfer. 

Maplewood 2 is located in Pecos County in the Permian Basin of West Texas and will deliver low-cost, clean power to Energy Transfer under a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). This PPA marks Energy Transfer’s first-ever dedicated solar contract.

Texas has led the production of energy since the discovery of the Spindletop oilfield in 1901. The state’s geography and natural resources, skilled labor force, and internal competitive power market, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), give it an energy advantage. 

The Maplewood 2 Solar Project is estimated to be in operation in the first quarter of 2021.
