EDP Renewables North America (EDPR NA) and EDP Renewables Canada (EDPR Canada) have started operations at the 297 MW Sharp Hills wind farm in Sedalia and New Bridgen in Alberta, Canada. The power will be supplied to TC Energy, a Calgary-based company that operates in natural gas, oil, and power. The launch of the Sharp Hills wind farm follows a memorandum of understanding between EDPR NA and the Invest Alberta Corporation. A C$600 million investment was made to build the wind farm.
Sharp Hills created 400 full-time equivalent jobs during construction and presently supports seven permanent positions for ongoing operations and maintenance. With the addition of Sharp Hills, EDPR Canada now operates three renewable energy sites totaling 427 MW of capacity. The company also manages the 100 MW Nation Rise wind farm and the 30 MW South Branch wind farm, both south of Ottawa.
In June 2023, EDP Renovaveis SA completed the installation of a 1.9 MWp distributed generation (DG) solar energy system in Malaysia. The DG system was built for leasing company PE Land Sdn Bhd on the roof of the largest shopping centre in the country, located in the state of Penang. The PV array is comprised of 3,584 solar panels and has the capacity to generate more than 2.86 million kWh of electricity annually.
