ENGIE Signs Multi-Energy Market Agreement with Walmart

ENGIE US Wind announced that it is continuing to service Walmart’s renewable energy needs via an innovative agreement that utilizes two virtual renewable power purchase agreements to enable building more than 366 MW of wind projects in different US energy markets, all under a single procurement process. This process was important to Walmart as it continues to make progress towards its goal of powering 50% of its operations with renewable energy by the end of 2025. Walmart is purchasing 166 MW from ENGIE’s Prairie Hill project in Texas and 200 MW from ENGIE’s King Plains project in Oklahoma, with construction on both sites underway. The energy produced annually matches to portions of electricity load in Walmart stores, Sam’s Clubs, and distribution centers throughout parts of the ERCOT and Southwest Power Pool markets.

This deal complements Walmart’s existing VPPA with ENGIE for 150 MW at the Triple H wind project in South Dakota, where construction is also underway. Combined with the existing Triple H deal, the new Prairie Hill and King Plains deals bring Walmart and ENGIE’s collaboration to more than 500 MW of wind power in the US market. Triple H, Prairie Hill and King Plains are part of the portfolio acquired in early 2018 by a subsidiary of ENGIE North America from Infinity Power Holdings, a joint venture between Infinity Renewables and MAP® Energy.

McDonald USA Inks First Large-Scale Virtual Power Purchase Agreements

McDonald’s announced the signing of two long-term, large-scale virtual power purchase agreements, whereby McDonald’s will buy renewable energy generated by Aviator Wind West, a wind power project located in Coke County, Texas and a solar project located in Texas. The combined 380MW in renewable energy expected to be generated from McDonald’s contribution to these projects will help to prevent over 700,000 metric tons of carbon emissions each year, which is equivalent to planting more than 11 million trees or taking over 140,000 cars off the road for one year. Additionally, the energy generated by these U.S. projects will be equivalent to over 2,500 restaurants-worth of electricity.

In March 2018, McDonald’s became the first restaurant company in the world to set a greenhouse gas emissions target approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. These two US renewable energy projects will represent significant progress toward McDonald’s Climate Action Target to reduce GHG emissions related to McDonald’s restaurants and offices by 36% by 2030. Once online, the GHG emissions reductions from these two deals are expected to deliver 16% in progress toward our Climate Action Target or 6% in GHG emissions reductions from our 2015 baseline.

Both of these projects will impact the local community by jointly generating over USD 200 million in local tax revenue and helping to provide approximately 600 new short-term construction, operations, maintenance jobs, as well as 13 long-term jobs.

New Jersey Governor Murphy Hikes Offshore Wind Goal to 7,500 MW by 2035

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No 92, raising New Jersey’s offshore wind goal from 3,500 MW of offshore wind-generated electricity by 2030 to 7,500 MW by 2035. The Executive Order, which more than doubles New Jersey’s offshore wind goal, will deliver the clean, renewable energy generation needed to meet the State’s goals of 50 percent renewable energy by 2030 and a 100 percent clean energy economy by 2050, as well as create thousands of jobs. He said “There is no other renewable energy resource that provides us with either the electric generation or economic-growth potential of offshore wind. When we reach our goal of 7,500 megawatts, New Jersey’s offshore wind infrastructure will generate electricity to power more than 3.2 million homes and meet fifty percent of our state’s electric power need. Our offshore wind industry will generate billions of dollars in investments in New Jersey’s future that will, in turn, create thousands of jobs. We have an immense opportunity to maximize our potential and make this region and, specifically New Jersey, the nexus of the global offshore wind industry.”

Executive Order No 92, which will be effective immediately, directs the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and other state agencies with responsibilities arising under OWEDA to take all necessary actions to promote the development of wind energy off the coast of New Jersey to meet a goal of 7,500 MW of offshore wind energy generation by the year 2035. This new order rescinds Paragraph 1 of Executive Order No 8, which had established the previous goal of 3,500 MW of offshore wind energy generation by 2030.

American Wind Energy Association Applauds GREEN Act

The American Wind Energy Association has applauded the release of the Growing Renewable Energy and Efficiency Now Act by Chairman of the US House Committee on Ways and Means Congressman Mr Richard Neal. AWEA CEO Mr Tom Kiernan said that “We commend Chairman Neal for his leadership in recognizing the value of the PTC and ITC in promoting economic growth and reducing carbon emissions. Federal tax incentives for renewable technologies like wind and solar have been an indisputable federal policy success and this legislation will extend tax credits for onshore and offshore wind energy, putting the industry a step closer to tax policy parity with other energy sources. The market has changed significantly since 2015 national carbon policy hasn’t materialized, and we have new tariffs significantly raising the cost of wind energy and US manufacturing. While we support the bill, offshore wind is an emerging industry at a critical juncture, and we would like to see longer-term support for its development, similar to the ITC extension through 2026 as prescribed in HR 4887 by Rep. Pascrell. The GREEN Act provides a step towards tax policy parity to cost-effectively meet strong consumer demand for clean energy. We look forward to working with Chairman Neal and the House in passing this important legislation.”

The legislation includes an extension of the Wind Production Tax Credit at 60% for five years and extends the offshore wind Investment Tax Credit for five years. The wind energy tax credit is expiring this year, while other energy sources have permanent tax credits.
