Orsted has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with North Iowa Municipal Electric Cooperative Association (NIMECA) for energy supplied by the 103MW Willow Creek wind farm in South Dakota.
The Willow Creek wind farm in Butte County has been operational since September 2020.
NIMECA is the seventh company to enter into a power purchase agreement with Orsted Onshore this year.
Orsted Onshore chief commercial officer Vishal Kapadia said: “We’re excited to team up with NIMECA to assist them in providing renewable energy to homes, business, factories, and farms in and around their local communities.
“The PPA with NIMECA provides access to clean energy for multiple local municipalities, adding to the diversity of our portfolio and expanding our customer relationships to an important segment of the market.”
NIMECA CEO Greg Fritz said: “Adding Willow Creek Wind to NIMECA’s generation portfolio helps to diversify our energy supply.
“We’re pleased to be working with Orsted to provide our municipal utility members with low-cost, clean energy.”
