Pattern Development secures PPAs for 200 MW wind project in New Mexico
Pattern Development has announced that it has signed 15-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) and Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP) for the 200 MW Duran Mesa Wind project currently in development near Corona, New Mexico.
SVCE has agreed to purchase 110 MW of the wind farm's output and MBCP has agreed to purchase 90 MW. These are the first long-term wind power purchase agreements signed by both organisations.
Construction of Duran Mesa Wind is anticipated to begin in late 2019 and the project is expected to reach commercial operation in late 2020. Power from the wind project will be delivered to California in part via the SunZia Southwest Transmission Project, a 520-mile 500-kV transmission line under development in New Mexico and Arizona by SouthWestern Power Group, which is also expected to achieve commercial operation by 2020.
