ENGIE Greens Power Consumption of Smart Energy Decisions’ Distributed Energy Forum

June 20, 2019 – Houston, TX – ENGIE North America is shaping a sustainable future by supplying renewable energy certificates (RECs) to Smart Energy Decisions’ Distributed Energy Forum to be held June 24-27 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center near Denver, Colorado. The Green-e® certified RECs will offset 100% of the three-day event’s anticipated energy consumption, while helping to fund the development and operation of domestic sources of renewable energy.

 

The announcement marks the third Smart Energy Decisions conference ENGIE North America has supported with RECs, further illustrating the energy leader’s commitment to promoting sustainable strategies. The certificates supplied at each event represent the environmental attributes or benefits associated with a specific quantity of energy generated from a renewable source, such as wind or solar.

Ken Cowan, Vice President of Solutions Sales and Marketing at ENGIE North America, said, “As the demand for decarbonized energy continues to grow both nationally and globally, we are proud to demonstrate our ability to provide customers with a range of renewable products that support a more sustainable future. Our supply of RECs to Smart Energy Decisions is one of many opportunities we are incorporating into environmentally responsible energy management solutions, and we’re proud to support the Distributed Energy Forum in this regard.”

ENGIE North America’s capabilities in renewable products span from RECs and green power supply to custom structured solutions and traditional and virtual power purchase agreements to support the development of new renewable generation assets. The Solutions Sales team integrates these capabilities with energy efficiency, information services, demand management, energy services and distributed generation opportunities to optimize supply, demand, and operations, and achieve energy management targets.

John Failla, Founder and Editorial Director of Smart Energy Decisions, said, “We’re honored to have the continued backing of ENGIE – a leader in the world’s transformation to a low-carbon energy economy. It’s important that we practice what we preach and ENGIE helps to make that possible with our partnership to drive change in support of the energy transition taking shape in today’s power markets.”

The Distributed Energy Forum is an invitation-only event designed to help large energy users build and execute distributed energy resource strategies. The DE Forum is the third event brand operated by Smart Energy Decisions, an information and event platform dedicated to helping large energy users navigate the energy transition.

ENGIE North America’s Seymour Hills Wind Project in Texas Enters Commercial Operation

June 18, 2019 – Houston, TX – ENGIE North America Inc. announced today it has started commercial operation at its Seymour Hills Wind Farm Project, located in Baylor County, Texas. With a total capacity of approximately 30 MW, the Seymour Hills Wind Project is providing the renewable energy it generates to corporate customers, Ingersoll Rand (NYSE: IR) and Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), each under a separate power purchase agreement.

 

Seymour Hills features 12 General Electric 2.52 MW turbines with 127-meter rotors and was constructed by Blattner Energy, Inc. The total capital investment for the wind farm is more than $50 million, and the project employed nearly 150 people during the height of construction activity. The wind farm has already generated significant economic development in the local area and will continue to do so over the life of the project with millions of dollars in annual payments to landowners and to local taxing authorities.

Seymour Hills is part of the portfolio acquired in early 2018 by a subsidiary of ENGIE North America from Infinity Power Holdings, a joint venture between Infinity Renewables and MAP® Energy.

ENGIE’s ambition is to lead the zero-carbon transition based on 3 pillars: Client Solutions across a broadening array of services (including on-site co-generation, heating and cooling networks, public lighting, rooftop solar); Networks to adapt them to future green gas requirements and continue to generate attractive returns and substantial cash flow; and Renewables, with a plan to add 9 GW of renewables capacity to the Group portfolio (24 GW at the end of 2018) by 2021. In this field, ENGIE targets 50% of new renewable projects dedicated to specific customers by 2021 and to play a leading role in next-generation renewable platforms including offshore wind and green gas.

North America will be a key market to reach these ambitions both in Client Solutions and Renewables. The Seymour Hills Wind Project will contribute to ENGIE’s goal to build at least 2.5 GW of wind and solar capacities in the next 3 years in the US and Canada. As with the Seymour Hills project, these capacities will be dedicated to specific customers.

ENGIE Signs Target on Sand Fork Solar Project in Texas

June 12, 2019 – Houston, TX – ENGIE North America Inc. today announced it has entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Target Corp. for 89 MW of capacity from the Sand Fork Solar Project in Texas.

 

Slated to come online in the summer of 2021, the Sand Fork Solar Project will have a total capacity of 200 MW. In addition to providing clean, renewable energy, the Project will have a positive economic impact in the local area, namely through local construction jobs and purchases of local goods and services. The remainder of the Project’s capacity will be purchased by another corporate customer.

The power purchase agreement has a term of 15 years and is estimated to result in annual generation of 250,000 megawatt hours, enough energy to power 250,000 U.S homes for more than a month.

“We truly value the opportunity to support Target in its commitment to source electricity from renewables,” said Gwenaelle Avice-Huet, CEO of ENGIE North America. “By serving Target with the Sand Fork Project, we’re proud to help shape a sustainable future for customers and communities and reinforce our ambition to lead the zero-carbon transition.”
