Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) has signed a 20-year PPA with EDF Renewables North America for the 300 MW Milligan 1 Wind project.
EDF Renewables developed and is the owner/operator of the project, located in Nebraska. The project has been in operation since 2021.
“The addition of Milligan 1 contributes to the expansion and diversification of the OPPD energy portfolio and provides us with the ability to draw from multiple sources,” says Javier Fernandez, OPPD president and CEO.
“Having that flexibility in our generation fleet is essential to enable economic growth in Nebraska and it is also extremely critical to reliability. We are making substantial generation additions to keep reliable power flowing to our customers as usage grows in our thriving Nebraska economy. Between 2024 and the end of the decade, OPPD plans to add 3,200 MW of generation, with half of those additions coming from renewables.”
EDF Renewables’ North American portfolio consists of 18 GW of developed projects and 14.6 GW under service contracts.
