Circle Power, a Michigan-based renewable developer backed by Amber Infrastructure and its U.S. parent Hunt Companies, has executed two power purchase agreements (PPA) with Michigan’s Upper Peninsula Power Company (UPPCO).
Eight wind turbines located in Houghton County, Mich., will generate electricity to be sold under the contracts. The turbines will provide 40 megawatts in aggregate generation capacity.
According to public data from the Michigan Public Service Commission, the agreements are among the lowest price utility-scale renewable PPAs signed to-date in Michigan.
Circle Power has been engaging with local residents and stakeholders to secure the land, permits, grid interconnection and other requirements necessary for the wind turbines, which are slated to be operational by the end of 2023.
