TVA has secured 201MW of renewable wind power from ENEL Green Power’s Caney River wind farm in Elk County, 150MW from NextEra Energy Resources’ White Oak Energy Center in McLean County, and 101MW from EDP Renewables North America’s Lost Lakes wind farm in Dickinson County, Iowa.
TVA also secured an additional 83MW from EDP Renewables’ Pioneer Prairie site in Howard and Mitchell counties, Iowa, which began producing wind energy for TVA in 2010.
The Authority also has contracts with five operating wind farms in the Midwest with a combined 542 wind turbines as a result of a 2008 request for proposals for about 1,500MW of renewable and clean energy.
All TVA wind contracts are subject to satisfying applicable environmental requirements and securing firm transmission paths.
