Peninsula Clean Energy, Leeward Renewable Energy sign solar-plus-storage PPA for the Chaparral project in California
Leeward Renewable Energy and Peninsula Clean Energy have entered into a 15-year solar-plus-storage power purchase agreement (PPA) involving Leeward’s 102-megawatt (MW) Chaparral Solar Facility located in Kern County, California.
As part of the agreement, Peninsula Clean Energy will also purchase the energy and capacity from Chaparral’s 52 MW (208 megawatt-hours) battery storage system, which will facilitate the transition to a cleaner and more reliable power grid.
The construction of the facility will begin before the end of 2021 and the project is expected to begin delivering energy to Peninsula Clean Energy by December 2023. Leeward will own and operate the facility.
