Facebook Selects Provider For 170 MW Of Wind Energy To Support Illinois-Area Operations
August 06,2020
Apex Clean Energy today announced that Lincoln Land Wind has executed a power purchase agreement with Facebook for approximately 170 MW of renewable power from the Illinois project.
The PPA with Lincoln Land Wind will help support the tech company’s operations in the region.
With this latest in a series of transactions, Facebook is now Apex’s largest corporate customer by megawatt.
The deal marks Apex’s third renewable transaction with Facebook in the past year. In 2019, Facebook signed a 61.6 MW PPA with Altavista Solar, Apex’s largest solar project to date, and a 200 MW PPA with Aviator Wind East, which will be part of the largest single-phase, single-site wind project in the United States when it begins commercial operations in the coming months.
The remaining 130 MW from Lincoln Land Wind will be sold to another corporate offtaker to be announced at a later date.
The Lincoln Land Wind project is located in Morgan County, Illinois
