Two companies said Target Corp. (TGT) signed deals to purchase
renewable energy from a wind power and a solar power facility.
Leeward Renewable Energy said its virtual power purchase
agreement with Target will enable the construction of its Lone Tree
Wind Project in Bureau County, Illinois. The facility will have a
capacity of about 79.4 megawatts and will be constructed adjacent
to an existing Leeward facility. Construction on the project is
expected to begin this autumn with a projected completion date of
December 2020.
Engie North America Inc. said it entered a 15-year power
purchase agreement with Target for its Sand Fork Solar Project.
Sand Fork, which is located in Texas, is expected to come online
in the summer of 2021 and will have a total capacity of 200 MW.
Target has contracted for 89 MW of capacity, Engie said.
Target said it was moving forward to sourcing 100% of its
electricity from renewable sources by 2030, and also said the two
deals announced Wednesday were estimated to generate about 556,000
megawatt hours of renewable electricity, equivalent to the energy
used by 280 Target stores annually throughout the U.S.
