EDP Renewables North America is to build the 302MW Indiana Crossroads wind farm in White County, Indiana in the US.
The developer has secured a so-called build and transfer agreement from local utility Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) for the project due to start and finish construction in 2021.
Indiana Crossroads was selected through the Request for Proposal solicitation that NIPSCO ran as part of its 2018 Integrated Resource Plan process.
“Indiana has long been an important state for renewable energy development for EDP Renewables,” said EDP Renewables North America chief executive Miguel Prado.
“We are pleased to expand wind energy in White County and the state as well as build upon our partnership with NIPSCO as they advance their transition to clean energy sources,” he added.
In addition to Indiana Crossroads Wind, EDP Renewables North America and NIPSCO are working together to build the 102MW Rosewater wind farm in White County.
Rosewater recently received approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission and White County to begin construction and kicked off these initial activities earlier this month.
Rosewater has an anticipated start of operations in 2020.
