RWE and Google Sign Power Purchase Agreement for Oklahoma Solar Project
RWE has signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Google for the output of its Crooked Creek Solar project in McCurtain County, Oklahoma. The 155 MW solar facility is expected to begin construction later this year and enter commercial operation by 2028. It will supply electricity to support Google's operations within the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) market while delivering long-term economic benefits to local communities. The project is projected to create up to 250 jobs during peak construction, generate $24.3 million in local economic activity and contribute over $1.4 million in tax revenue for McCurtain County. Once operational, it will provide an estimated $25 million annually in funding for county programs, emergency medical services, schools, and technology education centers. RWE is expanding its presence in Oklahoma with this project, adding to existing wind projects like the 148 MW Boiling Springs facility and six other power projects totaling 1.6 GW currently under development.
