Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Last week, chemical company DuPont de Nemours Incorporated (NYSE:DD) (Wilmington, Delaware) announced that a windfarm resulting from a virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) signed with developer NextEra Energy Incorporated (NYSE:NEE) (Juno Beach, Florida) has completed startup operations and is generating power.
DuPont signed the VPPA for the Appaloosa Run windfarm, located in Upton County, Texas, with a unit of NextEra in 2021. The facility uses more than 60 turbines to generate 135 megawatts (MW) of power. Construction began in the second half of 2022, with M.A. Mortenson Company (Minneapolis, Minnesota) providing engineering, procurement and construction services.

The windfarm will help DuPont achieve its emissions-reduction goals, which include reducing absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 30%, including sourcing 60% of electricity from renewable energy, by 2030, and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. In a company press release, Miguel Gonzalez, chief procurement officer at DuPont, said, "We are pleased that Appaloosa Run Wind is now operational and producing the renewable energy we need on our work to transition to clean energy sources and help achieve decarbonization."
The power purchase agreement signed with DuPont is one of several for NextEra. In late 2022, the company signed a PPA with another chemicals producer, INEOS (London, England), for all of the output from a 310-MW solar project in Bosque County, Texas. INEOS said the power is expected to "cover the net purchased electricity load" of its 14 manufacturing, fractionation and storage facilities across the U.S. Construction on the project is expected to commence in early 2024, with operations set to begin by the end of 2025. Subscribers can learn more by viewing the project report.
Even without having PPAs to back construction, NextEra is on a renewable buildout tear. Industrial Info is tracking nearly $44 billion in active renewable energy projects belonging to NextEra. The company is building both wind and solar projects, with solar power taking the edge in NextEra's portfolio, with $32 billion in projects, compared with wind's nearly $12 billion.
Among NextEra's solar projects under construction is a facility in Limestone County, Texas, that will use more than 917,000 photovoltaic panels to provide a nameplate generating capacity of 400 MW. Construction kicked off late last year and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025. Subscribers can click here for more details.
Construction on one of NextEra's biggest solar projects is underway and is expected through most of next year. Construction on the Dunns Bridge solar project, in Jasper and Starke counties in Indiana, kicked off in 2021. The first phase, which will provide 265 MW of generating capacity, is expected to be completed this summer, at which time a second phase of construction will kick off. This phase will use an estimated 1.5 million solar panels to provide an additional 435 MW of capacity, bringing the facility's nameplate generation to 700 MW.

One of NextEra's largest wind projects kicked off toward the end of last year. The High Banks windfarm will be situated in Washington and Republic counties, Kansas, and will use about 200 turbines to achieve a nameplate generating capacity of 600 MW. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of next year. Subscribers can learn by viewing the project report.
