Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--EDF Renewables North America (San Diego, California), a subsidiary of Electricite de France S.A. (Paris, France), is broadening its role in the U.S. Power Generation Industry with the purchase of a windfarm in Nebraska and the continued development of several major wind, solar and hydro projects. Industrial Info is tracking more than $9 billion in active U.S. projects involving EDF, more than $7 billion of which is to be found in the Midwest and West Coast regions.

Earlier this month, EDF closed on a purchase agreement with York Nebraska Wind Partners LLC for the proposed, $495 million Milligan I Windfarm in Swanton, Nebraska, which is designed to generate 300 megawatts (MW) from 150 turbines, manufactured by Vestas Wind Systems A/S (Copenhagen, Denmark). The project will sell its generated energy and renewable-energy credits into the Southwest Power Pool, according to a press release from EDF. It brings the company closer to meeting its "CAP 2030" plan to double its global operational renewable-energy capacity to more than 50 gigawatts (GW) by 2030. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Among the largest projects involving EDF set to kick off in the U.S. Midwest this year is Alliant Energy Corporation's (NASDAQ:LNT) (Madison, Wisconsin) $400 million Golden Plains Windfarm near Lake Mills, Iowa. EDF is serving as developer at the complex, which will generate 200 MW from 81 General Electric (NYSE:GE) wind turbines. The project will be supported by a $10 million collector substation in Buffalo Center, Iowa. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the windfarm and substation.
The Golden Plains project is a major component of Alliant's plans to add 1,000 MW of wind generation in Iowa. "With this additional wind, we estimate renewables will make up over 40% of our Iowa energy mix in 2021," said Patricia Kampling, the chief executive officer of Alliant, in a recent earnings-related conference call.
EDF is developing several of its own projects along the West Coast, including the $69 million Ponderosa Solar project in Prineville, Oregon. EDF is continuing to seek permits for the complex, which will generate 34.5 MW from photovoltaic panels. If the project goes according to schedule, construction will begin in the fourth quarter. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Farther south, EDF is developing one of the largest solar projects in the U.S.: the $500 million Palen Solar Station near Desert Center, California, which is expected to generate 250 MW from photovoltaic panels. The solar farm is to be built on public lands south of Joshua Tree National Park and east of Coachella Valley, to service the nearby Palm Springs; it was the first big solar project on public lands to be approved by the Trump administration's Interior Department, according to a local CBS affiliate. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
EDF also is at work on several public projects, including a proposed, $15 million solar array for Acton Water District in Acton, Massachusetts. Acton Water District, a community public water supply, is crafting a microgrid system that would serve several facilities, including a water treatment plant and a wastewater pump station. The system is funded in part through Massachusetts Clean Energy Center's Microgrid Incentive Program. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Earlier this month, EDF began generating electricity from its $110 million windfarm in Copenhagen, New York, which it built in collaboration with Renewable Energy Systems Limited (RES Americas) (Broomfield, Colorado). The facility features 40 Vestas wind turbines that generate 80 MW. EDF signed a 15-year power purchase agreement with Narragansett Electric Company, a subsidiary of National Grid plc (NYSE:NGG) (London, England), to service customers in New York and Rhode Island. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
"We are pleased to join the ranks of leaders in New York wind and support the state's renewable energy target of 50% [of the state's energy production] by 2030," said Jacob Susman, vice president, Head of Origination at EDF Renewables, in a press release.
