EDF Power Solutions Signs 30-Year Solar Agreement with SCPPA
EDF Power Solutions North America signed a 30‑year power purchase agreement with the Southern California Public Power Authority for the Utah Solar 1 project, a 400 MWdc (300 MWac) solar farm in Millard County, Utah. The facility is slated to begin delivering electricity to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power in mid‑2027, producing about 766 GWh annually—enough for roughly 126,800 California homes. Construction will peak at around 400 workers and generate over $40 million in local tax revenue plus $27 million in lease payments. The deal expands EDF’s renewable portfolio and supports LADWP’s decarbonization goals.
