620 MW New Wind Capacity for US

Enel Green Power has started operations on two more U.S. wind farms. The 320 MW Rattlesnake Creek wind farm is the company's first one in Nebraska and will sell its energy to Facebook and Adobe via a PPA. It is located in Dixon County and is expected to generate around 1,300 GWh annually.

The 300 MW Diamond Vista wind farm, located in Marion and Dickinson Counties, Kansas, is supported by three separate long-term PPAs and will sell its energy to Kohler, Tri-County Electric Cooperative of Oklahoma and City Utilities of Springfield. The investment in the construction of Diamond Vista, which is also expected to generate around 1,300 GWh annually, amounts to around 400 million US dollars.

“With the completion of Rattlesnake Creek and Diamond Vista, we have now added more than 800 MW of new wind capacity in 2018 in the US, strengthening our growth in the country and  confirming our position as partner of choice for commercial and industrial customers,” said Antonio Cammisecra, Head of Enel Green Power. “These projects further demonstrate our ability to develop customised solutions that best meet the renewable energy needs of our customers.”

Over the past year Enel signed around 570 MW of commercial and industrial (C&I) PPAs in the US. To date, Enel has signed, directly or indirectly, more than 1.2 GW of power supply contracts in the US with C&I customers.
