CalChoice Municipal Aggregation Selects Supplier For Wind Power PPAs
August 20,2019
Avangrid Renewables and the California Choice Energy Authority (CalChoice) announced three new power purchase agreements for wind energy from Avangrid Renewables’ Mountain View III Wind Farm in Palm Springs, California.
CalChoice will buy the entire output of the 22.44-megawatt (MW) wind farm starting in 2021 on behalf of three of its members: Apple Valley Choice Energy (AVCE), the Rancho Mirage Energy Authority (RMEA), and Lancaster Choice Energy (LCE).
The PPAs include a 10-year delivery period
The project sits adjacent to RMEA’s service territory and relatively close to the LCE and AVCE customer bases.
The Mountain View III Wind Farm output will allow these CalChoice members to continue offering voluntary service options that provide customers with the opportunity to purchase up to 100% renewable energy from local and regional generating resources
The Mountain View III Wind Farm generates approximately 70,000 megawatt-hours per year
