EDF Renewables agrees PPA with Tesco for renewable energy

EDF Renewables has signed three power purchase agreements (PPA) with Tesco to supply renewable energy to the company. The three PPAs cover two onshore windfarms and one solar installation and will last for 15 years.

The two onshore windfarms will be located in Scotland, the first of which will be the expansion of the Burnfoot East windfarm in Clackmannanshire. The windfarm currently has a capacity of 42MW but EDF will expand this by 10.8MW.

The second onshore windfarm will also be located in Scotland and have a capacity of 43MW. EDF will also install 15,000 solar panels on 17 Tesco stores in England, which will have a combined capacity of 5MW when complete in 2020.
