Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) has signed a contract with Pattern Energy’s SunZia Wind installation in New Mexico, a 3.5-GW project that would be the largest wind onshore wind farm in the Western Hemisphere. Peninsula Clean Energy expects to begin receiving electricity from SunZIA in 2026, and has a 15-year contract to offtake power.
