TransAlta signs power purchase agreements for 300 MW White Rock wind farm in Caddo County

TransAlta Corporation has entered into two long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for the offtake of 100% of the generated electricity from its 300 MW White Rock East and White Rock West onshore wind projects located in Caddo County, Oklahoma.

Contracting the electricity attributes to a disclosed new customer and allows TransAlta to move into the construction phase, which will begin in late 2022. With estimated total construction costs of US$470 million, the White Rock project will consist of 51 Vestas turbines. Once the project is operational in the second half of 2023, TransAlta will operate and own the wind farm.
