Avangrid and Puget Sound Energy Sign PPA, Including Upgrade and Life Extension, for Washington Wind Project
LCG, May 19, 2026--Avangrid, Inc., a member of the Iberdrola Group, today announced the signing of a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Puget Sound Energy (PSE) for the 199.5-MW Big Horn I wind project in Klickitat County, Washington. This agreement represents the fourth PPA executed by the two companies for projects in the Pacific Northwest.
Big Horn I is a wind energy project that was installed by Avangrid in 2006. As a part of its agreement with PSE, Avangrid is upgrading key components of Big Horn I to extend its life, enhance its performance, and best ensure it continues to produce reliable and affordable energy for the next 20 years. The upgraded facility is expected to reach commercial operation in 2028.
Avangrid's CEO stated, "For more than two decades, Avangrid has been investing in Washington state to develop energy projects that support the region's growing energy needs while delivering lasting economic benefits to the local community. This builds on our strong relationship with PSE and ensures Big Horn I continues to provide reliable electricity while sustaining local jobs, tax revenue, and long-term value for the region."
PSE's Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer said, "We are excited that this latest agreement with Avangrid helps us meet some of the most ambitious clean energy laws in the nation while delivering on our customer's expectations. We are proud to be a partner in developing Washington's wind resources-this project is another milestone in our continued investment in the state's energy economy."
In addition to Big Horn I, Avangrid and PSE have signed PPAs for the Klondike III (224 MW capacity, commercial operations began in 2007), Golden Hills (200 MW capacity, commercial operations began in 2022), and Lund Hill (150 MW capacity, commercial operations began in 2023) projects. All four facilities are located in the Columbia River Gorge region along the Oregon and Washington border and have a combined capacity of over 600 MW.
Avangrid operates over 11 GW of installed capacity across its 25-state portfolio, which includes nearly 100 energy projects.
