We support renewable energy sources, 包括风, 地热, 生物质, 热电联产和小水电. 找出每一个的细节.
When Elkhorn came online in 2007, hg8868皇冠下载 had just 10-20 MW of wind energy tied to our system. Our long-term planning process identified a need for additional wind energy, and we now have a 20-year contract to purchase the energy from this project.
从那时起, additional projects have come online under a federal law that requires hg8868皇冠下载 to purchase energy from qualifying renewable energy sources such as wind, 太阳能和地热. As of 2024, hg8868皇冠下载 has a total of 726 MW of wind capacity tied to our system.
的 rate hg8868皇冠下载 pays for Elkhorn energy is set each year and escalates over the term of the contract. We expect to receive about 300,000 renewable energy certificates (REC) per year throughout the term of our agreement. Currently, the RECs are sold, and the proceeds are shared with our customers. 因为RECs已经卖出去了, hg8868皇冠下载 cannot claim renewable wind energy from this project is being delivered to customers.
独立电力生产商
截至2020年, hg8868皇冠下载 had contracts with 32 other commercial wind projects, representing 625 megawatts of nameplate capacity (possible energy). 的se are 20-year contracts mandated by a federal law that requires utilities like hg8868皇冠下载 to purchase all the energy generated by certain projects. 的 rates we pay for energy from these projects varies, but it’s higher than the rate we pay for energy from Elkhorn.
hg8868皇冠下载 does not own or operate these projects.
风 generation usually operates well below its actual capacity. To see the actual amount of energy generated by wind on hg8868皇冠下载’s system relative to the capacity and the total electricity demand over the past 48 hours, 参观 System Load and 风 Generation 页面.
Nineteen of these are commercial solar-energy projects with a combined capacity of 316 MW. 的se comply with the Public Utility Regulatory 政策 Act (PURPA), which requires utilities like hg8868皇冠下载 to buy all energy generated by certain facilities.
Non-PURPA projects either online or under development include:
- 头奖太阳能: 120-MW project south of Twin Falls, 爱达荷州, which began generating energy in late 2022.
- 黑色的台面: A 40-MW project near Glenns Ferry, 爱达荷州, which came online in 2023.
- 富兰克林太阳能: This 100-MW project, adjacent to the Jackpot project, is scheduled to come online in 2024.
- 未来: Two additional solar projects with a combined capacity of 325 MW are scheduled to come online in 2025 and 2026.
hg8868皇冠下载 has contracts to purchase the energy generated by these projects but does not own or operate them. 了解更多 about other ways hg8868皇冠下载 uses solar energy.
