Southern Power, a U.S. wholesale energy provider and subsidiary of Southern Company, has acquired its 14th wind project — the 300-megawatt Deuel Harvest Wind Farm — from Invenergy.
“Deuel Harvest is Southern Power’s largest wind project to date and will serve as an important piece of our growing renewable portfolio,” said Bill Grantham, president of Southern Power.
Located in Deuel County, S.D., Deuel Harvest was developed by Invenergy and utilizes 109 wind turbines manufactured by GE Renewable Energy. The project achieved commercial operation Feb. 23, 2021.
The electricity and associated renewable energy credits (RECs) generated by the facility are being sold under two separate power purchase agreements — a 25-year agreement with Great River Energy, expected to commence January 2023, and a 15-year agreement with Xcel Energy, expected to commence in October 2021.
Southern Power will be the majority owner. Invenergy will retain a minority owner
