Juan Pedro July 4, 2023

In Louisiana, Southwestern Electric Power Co. (SWEPCO), an American Electric Power company, said it has received approval by the Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC) to move forward with its fuel-free power plan to acquire up to 999 megawatts (MW) of renewable generation resources.

The LPSC approved the terms of a settlement agreement reached on March 10, 2023, by all parties in the proceeding, subject to certain procedural conditions moving forward, the firm said.

One solar and two wind projects are to be constructed by Invenergy and acquired by SWEPCO. The three projects were identified through a competitive bidding process. They are: Mooringsport, a 200 MW solar facility located in Caddo Parish, Louisiana; Diversion, a 200.6 MW wind facility in Baylor County, Texas and Wagon Wheel, a 598.4 MW wind facility located in Oklahoma.
