Pedernales Electric Cooperative signs 100-MW PPA on Texas wind project

By WPED Staff | October 29, 2020

EDF Renewables North America and Pedernales Electric Cooperative, the largest distribution electric cooperative in the United States, signed a 15-year PPA for a 100-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.

“EDF Renewables looks forward to supplying Pedernales with competitively-priced, clean energy through the King Creek 1 Wind Project,” said Ryan Pfaff, executive VP, Grid-Scale Power at EDF Renewables. “Pedernales’ decision to include clean energy in its resource portfolio helped to make the project a reality, which will provide an economic boost to the local economy through new construction and operations jobs, and expanded tax base.”

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 and 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.

“We’re excited about the expansion of our power portfolio to include 100 MW of wind power,” said Julie C. Parsley, CEO of PEC.

With 35 years of experience and 16 GW of renewable projects developed throughout North America, EDF Renewables provides a fully integrated bundle of energy solutions from grid-scale wind, solar and solar + storage projects to electric vehicle charging and energy storage management.

The expected electricity generated at full capacity is enough to meet the consumption of approximately 26,000 average Texas homes.
