Ørsted said the pairing of contracts for wind and solar was “a case study of where onshore renewables is heading”. It added that the dual technology approach maximised the availability of power.

The 250MW tranche of solar will be taken from the 350MW Permian Solar project scheduled for completion in Q2 2021.

The presentation confirmed that the wind PPA for ExxonMobil would have a duration of 12 years.
