Orsted has signed power purchase agreements with retailer Target and Hormel Foods for output from its 298MW Haystack wind farm in the US.
Haystack, in Nebraska, is under construction and expected online later this year.
The two new offtakers join PepsiCo, which signed a PPA earlier this year for output from Haystack.
“It’s great to partner with Hormel Foods, PepsiCo, and Target as they work towards their renewable energy goals,” said Orsted Onshore chief commercial officer Vishal Kapadia.
“Through projects like Haystack Wind, we’re able to provide clean energy to the grid while contributing to the project’s local community through job creation, landowner benefits, and local tax reduction.”
On average, the project will contribute $4m a year in local taxes and landowner payments to the community, and it will employ 300 construction workers at its peak.
