Invenergy has signed a power purchase agreement with the city of Denton in Texas for its 300MW Santa Rita wind farm.
The Chicago utility is developing the wind project in Reagan and Irion Counties in Texas. Invenergy has yet to select turbines for the project.
Santa Rita will start delivering power to local supplier Denton Municipal Electric by 1 January 2019, Invenergy said.
The deal is part of a plan to increase the share of electricity from renewable sources in the Texan city from 40% to 70% by that date.
“This agreement is a significant step forward in providing more renewable power to the citizens of Denton,” Mayor Chris Watts said.
“We are excited to partner with Invenergy on a long-term contract that will increase our renewable portfolio while maintaining competitive rates.”
