EDF Renewables North America announced two agreements with Indiana Michigan Power (I&M), a unit of American Electric Power, through which I&M will add 554 MWdc (425 MWac) of solar energy.
Under the terms of the deal, I&M will purchase the output from Sculpin Solar, 236 MWdc (180 MWac), under a 30-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The facility is planned for DeKalb County in northeastern Indiana and could enter service in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The utility will also buy all of the equity interests in Lake Trout Solar, 318 MWdc (245 MWac), following the completion of construction activities under a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA). Lake Trout is planned for Blackford County midway between Indianapolis and Ft. Wayne. It also could enter service in late 2025.
The two projects are expected to generate 880,000 MWh of energy annually.
The utility asked state regulators in Indiana and Michigan to include 210 MW of generation capacity from an existing natural gas peaking plant in Wells County, near Montpelier, Ind.
