EDP Renewables North America (EDPR NA), a renewable vitality developer and operator in North America, has began building on its 240 MW Cattlemen I Solar Park in Milam County, Texas, which was developed and constructed, and can be operated by EDPR NA.
“Cattlemen is EDP Renewables’ first photo voltaic park in Texas and can quickly be our largest operational photo voltaic park in our North American portfolio,” says Kris Cheney, EDPR NA’s govt vice chairman for Central and Western areas and Mexico, environmental affairs, and vitality storage analytics. “The Milam County group has been a fantastic associate all through Cattlemen’s improvement. As we transfer nearer to operation, we stay up for persevering with that partnership as a contributing member of the group and increasing upon our relationship with the landowners, native officers, and residents.”
Cattlemen has two long-term business agreements in-place for the mission: a 156 MW energy buy settlement (PPA) with Meta and a 60 MW PPA with Bristol Myers Squibb. Cattlemen Photo voltaic Park is the second PPA that EDP Renewables and Meta have executed; the businesses’ first PPA was a 139 MW contract for EDPR NA’s 200 MW Headwaters II Wind Farm in Indiana.
