Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--EDF Renewables, which is a subsidiary of Energias de Portugal S.A. (Lisbon, Portugul), is seeing its capacity strengthen worldwide as demand for inexpensive clean energy grows. EDP's global installed capacity stood at just more than 10 gigawatts (GW) at the end of June, up from just under 9.4 GW at the same point in 2016, with North America accounting for nearly half of the total. Industrial Info is tracking more than $14.3 billion in active projects involving EDP and its subsidiaries, nearly $5 billion of which are in the U.S. and Canada.
EDP's largest U.S. project under construction is the $200 million Quilt Block Windfarm in Darlington, Wisconsin. Construction began in April and is set to wrap up toward the end of the year. It will generate 99 megawatts (MW) from 48 turbines provided by Vestas (Aarhus, Denmark). EDP is serving as project manager, while White Construction Incorporated (Clinton, Indiana) is performing engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Outside the U.S., EDP's largest project under construction is the $928.9 million Sao Manoel Hydropower Station in Paranaita, Brazil. The project, which kicked off in early 2015 and is set to wrap up in the first quarter of 2018, involves the installation of four Alstom Kaplan vertical hydraulic turbines, each with a 177.3-MW capacity, for a total output of 709.2 MW. General Electric's (NYSE:GE) (Fairfield, Connecticut) Brazilian subsidiary is providing technological support. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Brazil also would be home to one of EDF's proposed natural gas-fired projects: the $450 million Norte Capixaba plant in Sao Mateus. Earlier this summer, Spanish power and gas company Gas Natural approached EDP about a merger, which would form Europe's fourth-largest utility by market value, according to Reuters. Talks still are in the early stages. If built, the combined-cycle plant in Sao Mateus would generate 500 MW from three units, as currently envisioned. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
In Indiana, Cummins Incorporated (NYSE:CMI) (Columbus, Indiana) announced that it has entered into a virtual power purchase agreement with EDP for its proposed, $150 million Phase VI expansion of the Meadow Lake Windfarm in Chalmers. The addition of 38 turbines is expected to result in 75 MW more capacity; the facility already is undergoing a $180 million Phase V expansion, which is adding 100 MW, bringing the total output to 602 MW. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on Phase V and Phase VI.
Energias de Portugal also is evaluating two projects it has proposed for Texas: the $400 million Silver Canyon Windfarm and a $420 million addition in Silverton, both of which would involve EDP as a project manager. As currently envisioned, the orignial phase would generate 200 MW from Vestas VCS turbines, while the second would generate 220 MW. Each Vestas turbine would generate about 2 MW. If approved, the first phase would not begin construction until mid-2019 at the earliest. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on Silver Canyon's first and second phases.
EDP and its parent company also are eyeing three proposed windfarms in the U.S. Midwest: the $400 million Western Trail Windfarm in Bucklin, Kansas, the $400 million Broadlands Windfarm in Broadlands, Illinois, and the $400 million Turtle Creek Windfarm in Saint Ansgar, Iowa. The facilities would generate 400 MW, 202 MW and 200 MW, respectively, with Vestas being considered as a supplier for the latter two if they are approved. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the Western Trail, Broadlands and Turtle Creek proposals.
