EDP Renewables North America has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for the sale of 115 MW of power generated from the first phase of the company's Pioneer Prairie wind farm, located in Mitchell and Howard counties in Iowa (USA). Generated power will be delivered to customers in the seven southeastern states in the region.

Pioneer Prairie wind farm is planned to have a total of 300 MW of capacity at some point, which will be enough to supply some 90,000 average US households.

EDP Renewables has another PPA lined up through its subsidiary Horizon Wind Energy, for 102.3 MW from the second phase of the same wind farm, to be sold to AmerenUE.
