Pedernales signs 15-year PPA for 100 MW King Creek 1 wind project in Texas

EDF Renewables North America and Pedernales Electric Cooperative Inc. (PEC) have signed a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for a 100 megawatt (MW) share of King Creek 1 Wind Project. Located on ranch land in Throckmorton and Haskell Counties, Texas, the King Creek project expects to begin delivering clean electricity in Q4 2021.

The project is in the west zone of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market and was selected by PEC under its 2020 RFP.

King Creek 1 will consist of 47 wind turbine generators. Construction is expected to start by the end of 2020. The project will create approximately 300 construction-related jobs during its peak and will benefit the local community over its operating life through land lease, tax, and other payments.
