A San Diego-based company has signed two Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with NV Energy.
EDF power solutions North America’s PPAs will cover the combined output from a 400 MWac solar project combined with a 400 MW/1,600 MWh battery energy storage solution, together known as the Winston Energy Project.
“We are delighted by our continued partnership with NV Energy and ability to contribute paired solar and storage solutions which provide efficient, sustainable, and reliable energy to its customers,” said Jacqueline de Fresart, Associate Director of Origination and Power Marketing at EDF power solutions North America.
“We look forward to more opportunities together and to accelerate decarbonization in North America.”
Winston Energy project to begin delivering electricity in October 2029
Located on private land in Lyon County, Nevada, the Winston Energy project expects to begin delivering electricity in October 2029. The peak construction phase will employ over 400 workers, and during the operating life of the project, approximately $100 million in tax revenue will be generated for the local community.
In addition to its economic benefits, Winston Energy expects to generate approximately 1,110,000 MWh of renewable energy annually, enough to power 100,000 Nevada homes. This is equivalent to avoiding carbon (CO₂) emissions annually equivalent to the emissions from over 187,000 passenger vehicles driven over the course of one year, according to a press release.
EDF power solutions, one of the largest renewable developers in North America, is committed to providing solutions to meet our customer’s carbon-reduction goals. With over 35 years of experience and 26 gigawatts of wind, solar, and storage projects developed, EDF power solutions in North America provides integrated energy solutions from grid-scale power to electric vehicle charging, as per the release.
Broader renewable-energy activity in Nevada
The latest agreement builds on EDF power solutions’ broader renewable-energy activity in Nevada and across North America. The company has been expanding its portfolio of utility-scale solar, wind and battery-storage projects as demand grows for reliable low-carbon electricity.
The Winston Energy Project also highlights the growing role of battery energy storage in the U.S. electricity sector.
Large-scale batteries can help utilities manage fluctuations in renewable generation, shift electricity from periods of high solar production to periods of greater demand, and provide additional flexibility to the grid. The 1,600 MWh storage system planned for Winston represents a substantial energy-storage resource alongside the project’s 400 MW solar facility.
EDF power solutions has been pursuing additional battery-storage opportunities in North America. In May 2026, the company announced a five-year framework agreement with Ford Energy that could provide access to as much as 4 GWh of battery energy storage systems annually, or up to 20 GWh over the full term of the agreement.
