EDF Renewables North America today announced the signing of a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with CleanPowerSF for a 100 megawatt (MWac) tranche of the Palen Solar site known as Maverick 6 Solar Project. The project expects to come online by the end of 2021 and deliver enough clean electricity annually to power 49,000 average California homes.
The Palen Solar site encompasses multiple solar projects 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 BLM completed the federal permitting process, issuing the project a Record of Decision (ROD) in October 2018.
"EDF Renewables is pleased to partner on our first power purchase agreement with CleanPowerSF that will support the construction of the Maverick 6 project. We commend CleanPowerSF on this important milestone towards meeting their goal of supporting stable energy prices and new clean energy infrastructure and we look forward to building upon this opportunity in the future," said Dai Owen, Vice President, Power Marketing at EDF Renewables. "This contract marks the Company's 5th PPA with a Community Choice Aggregator (CCA); we are proud to be a reliable partner for the growing CCA community."
"We're thrilled to support EDF Renewables' Maverick 6 Solar Project and provide clean, safe and reliable energy to our customers in San Francisco," said SFPUC General Manager Harlan L. Kelly, Jr. "By signing this agreement, we'll make a significant investment in our clean energy future."
