Lincoln Clean Energy signs first PPA for 230 MW wind project in the USA

The J. M. Smucker Company, an American manufacturer of various food products, has announced that it has entered into a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with Lincoln Clean Energy (LCE) for 60 MW of the utility-scale 230 MW Plum Creek Wind Project in Wayne County, Nebraska, located in the Great Plains region of the USA.

The wind energy produced from the Plum Creek project will address approximately 50% of Smucker’s total electricity use by 2020. It is expected to generate enough renewable energy to power up to 100,000 U.S. homes each year.
