[Storage: EDF signs PPAs for 400MW solar and 1.6GWh BESS project]

Published: Aug 21, 2026 11:21
EDF power solutions North America has signed two 25-year PPAs with Nevada utility NV Energy for the Winston Energy Project in Lyon County, Nevada. The project will combine 400MW AC of solar PV with a 400MW/1,600MWh battery storage system, with commercial operation targeted for October 2029. Once completed, it is expected to generate close to 1,110,000MWh annually and supply electricity to NV Energy customers. SMM believes large solar-plus-storage projects in the US West are securing revenues through long-term utility PPAs, with four-hour storage continuing to improve dispatchability and grid value.
