EDP Renewables and Walmart sign 15-year PPA in Texas

In Texas, EDP Renewables North America and Walmart  have signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for a portion of a new 180-megawatt (MWac) solar project in Texas. Under the PPA, Walmart will be an offtaker for 162 MWac, complementing its current corporate procurement from EDPR NA projects of 233 MWac of utility-scale solar and wind energy and 36 MWac of distributed solar. The new utility-scale project will power the equivalent of more than 27,000 homes in Texas state each year. EDPR NA is one of Texas’ top renewable energy developers and operators, with over 1.2 GW of installed utility-scale renewable capacity across the state that generates electricity equivalent to the consumption of more than 236,000 average Texan homes.
