Facebook signs PPA for 200 MW wind project in Indiana, USA

EDP Renewables (EDPR) through its subsidiary EDP Renewables North America (EDPR NA) has secured a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Facebook for 139 MW of the energy produced by its Headwaters II Wind Farm in Randolph County, Indiana.

The 200 MW Headwaters II Wind Farm will produce enough clean electricity to power the equivalent of more than 52,000 homes each year and will provide economic benefits including jobs throughout the project’s construction and operation, landowner payments, and money spent in neighboring communities.

Through its Headwaters I Wind Farm, also located in Randolph County that became operational in 2014, EDP Renewables has paid approximately $2.6 million in cumulative payments to local governments through 2017.  The addition of the Headwaters II Wind Farm will result in more tax payments contributed to the county.
