EDF Energies Nouvelles announces, via its North American subsidiary EDF Renewable Energy, the commissioning in the United States of the 250 MW Roosevelt wind power plant in New Mexico and the 150 MW Slate Creek wind farm in Kansas.
The wind power plant of Roosevelt consists of 125 turbines for 250 MW of installed power.
Located in Roosevelt County, eastern New Mexico, it represents the subsidiary's first renewable facility in the state.
Electricity generated by the Roosevelt plant is sold at a fixed price to Southwestern Public Service Company (SPS), a subsidiary of Xcel Energy, under a 20-year electricity supply contract.
The energy output of Roosevelt Park is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 138,000 New Mexico homes.
The wind farm of Slate Creek is located south of Wichita, Kansas.
The new installation of 75 wind turbines totals 150 MW of installed power.
The production of the park is supplied to Great Plains Energy, including local electricity companies, Kansas City Power & Light and KCP&L Greater Missouri Operations, under a fixed price electricity sales contract, of duration of 20 years.
The wind farm provides energy to the equivalent of 50,500 homes in this state each year.
To date, EDF Energies Nouvelles has exceeded 3 gigawatts (GW) of gross installed renewable energy capacity in the United States.
