Renewables developer rPlus Energies has signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for 400MWac/200MW solar-plus-storage project in Emery County, Utah.

Signed with US utility PacifiCorp, the PPA includes a 200MW battery energy storage system (BESS) and is currently the “largest” planned solar-plus-storage facility in Utah, according to rPlus Energies.
