December 03,2019
EDF Renewables North America and Shell Energy North America (US), L.P. (SENA) announced the signing of a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) related to a 132 megawatt (MWac) tranche of the Palen Solar site known as Maverick 7 Solar Project.
The 500 MW Palen Solar project is located in Riverside County, California on 3,140 acres of federal lands within a Solar Energy Zone (SEZ) and Development Focus Area, managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
The project expects to deliver electricity by the end of 2021.
As the sole energy off taker for the Maverick 7 Solar Project, SENA will also purchase 100 percent of the environmental attributes, including the renewable energy credits and capacity. This agreement builds on the previously announced PPA between SENA and EDF Renewables for another tranche of the Palen Solar Project in 2018.
Shell said that the agreement would allow it to, " deliver a cleaner, sustainable energy solution," to customers
