Golden Hills Wind Farm in Oregon Achieves Commercial Operation

200 Megawatt wind farm delivers enough clean electricity to Puget Sound Energy to power 60,000 homes annually

Avangrid Renewables, LLC, a subsidiary of AVANGRID, Inc. AGR, today announced that it has achieved commercial operation at its 200 Megawatt (MW) Golden Hills wind farm in Sherman County, Oregon. The facility, which provides enough clean, renewable electricity to Puget Sound Energy (PSE) to power over 60,000 homes annually, began operations on April 29, 2022.

The project will help PSE meet its goals to reduce carbon dioxide emissions while providing additional capacity to serve customers, particularly during winter periods of high electricity demand. The project is Avangrid Renewables' 7th wind project in Sherman County, 11th in Oregon, and 14th in the Pacific Northwest.

Delivering on this project represents an important milestone for Avangrid Renewables as we continue to build on our robust portfolio of project in the Pacific Northwest region and advance our position as a leading renewable energy developer in the U.S., said Jose Antonio Miranda, Avangrid Renewables' president and CEO, Onshore. We are pleased to work with Puget Sound Energy to help it meet its ambitious goals to reduce emissions and provide clean, reliable power to its customers.

We are excited for this next step and what this partnership with Avangrid Renewables means as we continue to build on our history of championing renewable energy in the Pacific Northwest, said Ron Roberts, PSE vice president of energy supply. This new wind project will enable us to expand our efforts toward providing clean, reliable electric service to all of our customers as we work together to create a clean energy future for all.
