SILVER SPRING, Md., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- CPV Renewable Energy Company ("CPV") announced today that it has executed a 20-year power-purchase agreement with the Tennessee Valley Authority ("TVA") for 200 MW from its Ashley wind energy project in McIntosh County, North Dakota.
Permitting has already begun and CPV will construct and operate the wind farm. The project is expected to start producing power in 2012. CPV Ashley was one of the renewable energy projects selected from more than 60 responses to a TVA request for proposals issued in December of last year.
"CPV is committed to continuing to grow our portfolio of renewable energy projects and help America build a bridge to a sustainable energy future," said Sean Finnerty, CPV Sr. Vice President. "We are delighted to be partnering with TVA -- one of the leading energy companies in North America -- to generate more windpowered electricity. TVA's leadership in advancing the growth of clean, renewable energy resources through projects such as Ashley is exemplary."
This is the second power purchase agreement announced by CPV in the past month. In September, CPV and Oklahoma Gas & Electric Company agreed to a 152 MW power purchase agreement from CPV's Keenan wind farm in northwest Oklahoma. That project is expected to be on-line in late 2010.
CPV Renewable Energy Company, an affiliate of Competitive Power Ventures, Inc., is advancing a broad portfolio of wind and photovoltaic power generation across North America. Led by a blue chip management team and the financial backing of the investment fund Warburg Pincus, CPV REC is fast becoming a leader in the development of renewable energy.
