EDP Renováveis, SA (“EDPR”), a global leader in the renewable energy sector and the world’s third-largest wind energy producer, through its fully owned subsidiary EDP Renewables North America LLC, extended to 100 MW its Rising Tree North wind farm project located in the state of California, expected to be installed in 2014, and secured a new 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) to sell the renewable energy produced by the project extension (+20 MW).
