Apex Clean Energy announced two power purchase agreements (PPA) executed with McDonald’s totaling 326 megawatts of wind energy.
McDonald’s will purchase 200 megawatts from Caddo Wind, located in Caddo County, Okla., and 126 megawatts from Lincoln Land Wind, located in Morgan County, Ill.
The newly announced PPAs build on the restaurant company’s previous purchase of 220 megawatts from Apex-developed Aviator Wind West, located in Coke County, Texas. Aviator Wind, owned by Consumers Energy, Kansai Electric, and Ares Management Corporation’s Infrastructure and Power, commenced operations in September 2020.
Combined, the 546 megawatts of total clean power purchases position McDonald’s as Apex’s largest single offtake entity and corporate buyer.
“Apex is thrilled to be a long-term partner of McDonald’s in its efforts to leverage its scale to create a healthier planet for generations to come,” said Mark Goodwin, president and CEO of Apex Clean
