Terra-Gen is to sell 100MW of electricity to Shell Energy North America from the Coachella Hills wind farm in California under a long-term power purchase agreement.
The wind farm is a repowering project of the existing Coachella Flats and Painted Hills facilities and is expected to be completed on 1 December 2020.
It is the second California wind project where Terra-Gen and Shell Energy have executed a PPA.
The first deal, signed in 2017, was for the 130MW Voyager 2 plant located in Tehachapi.
Shell Energy North America senior vice president sales and origination Shaji Nair said: “Power purchase agreements like this one provide price certainty for our customers and are consistent with Shell Energy’s efforts to be part of the solution to help our customers lower their carbon footprint as we move together towards a cleaner energy future.”
Terra-Gen chief executive Jim Pagano said: “Terra-Gen is pleased to announce the development of its Coachella Hills wind project and its continued relationship with Shell Energy.
“Coachella Hills will provide a positive impact for local businesses and county revenues while helping California meet its carbon reduction goals.”
