In 2008, E.ON and CPS Energy have signed a 15 year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the output from the Papalote Creek wind farm. As per the PPA, CPS Energy will buy 115.5 MW of power and associated renewable energy certificates.

Construction is anticipated to complete through September 2009, with final completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The development of the Papalote Creek wind farm emphasizes EC&R’s commitment to the long-term investment and development of high-quality renewable energy projects in Texas and throughout the United States, says Declan Flanagan, CEO of EC&R North America. We are pleased construction has begun on this wind farm and grateful for the ongoing support from the community.
