Clearway Energy Group has signed a pair of long-term power purchase agreements with PacifiCorp for its in-development 280MW Two Rivers and 152MW Cedar Creek wind projects in the US.
Both schemes, based in Wyoming and Idaho respectively, have been contracted under 25-year PPA deals and are expected to reach commercial operations in 2024.
Clearway is developing Two Rivers in partnership with BluEarth Renewables, alongside the adjacent Lucky Star I and II wind farms.
“We’re proud to once again partner with PacifiCorp and help deliver on their goal of sourcing the cleanest, least-risk, and lowest-cost electricity for their customers,” said Clearway vice president of origination Valerie Wooley.
“We’re grateful to BluEarth for their partnership in the Two Rivers Wind project, and to our partners in the development of the Cedar Creek Wind project. We look forward to helping PacifiCorp serve its customers with non-emitting energy resources across the region.”
BluEarth CEO Grant Arnold added: “We began developing the Two Rivers project four years ago and this PPA is a testament to the strong reputation we’ve built and our ability to develop and build projects at scale.
“I am very pleased to partner with Clearway and look forward to progressing the entire Wyoming portfolio with their team.”
Clearway has a longstanding relationship with Berkshire Hathaway-owned utility PacifiCorp, including power purchase arrangements for a 549MW solar and wind portfolio in Utah and a 141MW wind portfolio in Wyoming.
