Spanish wind PPA signed
Spanish renewables developer Grupo Enhol has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with power and gas supplier Factorenergia for two wind farms totalling 90MW. The wind farms will have 27 turbines and sell their entire production, estimated at 320GWh per year, at a fixed price to Factorenergia. The wind farms do not benefit from the auctions held by Spain last year and will not receive government support.
