EDP Renewables SA (EDPR), through its fully owned subsidiary EDP Renewables North America LLC (EDPR NA), and Redwood Coast Energy Authority (RCEA) have executed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for 100 megawatts (MW) for the Sandrini Sol 1 Solar Park in Kern County, California.

Located near Bakersfield, the 100 MW Sandrini Sol 1 Solar Park is expected to be operational in 2022 and represents an estimated capital investment of more than US$100 million. Sandrini Sol 1 will also generate enough clean electricity to annually power more than 46,000 average homes and will save approximately 177 million gallons of water a year.

As the solar park’s only off-taker through the long-term PPA, RCEA will receive 100 percent of the project output.  RCEA is a community choice aggregator serving more than 60,000 customers in Humboldt County.  This project will generate enough electricity to meet approximately 45% of RCEA customers’ demand.
