Puget Sound Energy (PSE) and developer Invenergy have signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the Vantage Wind Energy Center in Ellensburg, Wash., enabling PSE to acquire 90 MW of clean energy per year, beginning in 2025.
Under the agreement, PSE will be purchasing enough energy to power just over 26,000 homes, which moves the utility closer to its 2030 clean energy target and helps it comply with the state’s clean energy policies, which are some of the most ambitious in the nation.
Invenergy and PSE will also work together to track and report on customer benefits associated with the project to support PSE’s Clean Energy Implementation.
“We continue our unwavering commitment to provide safe, reliable service at the lowest reasonable costs for customers,” says Ron Roberts, PSE vice president of energy supply, “24 hours a day, seven days a week, even on the hottest and coldest days.”
