About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

The J.M. Smucker Company entered a virtual power purchase agreement (vPPA) for offtake from the Plum Creek Wind Farm, a utility-scale onshore wind project developed by Ørsted in Wayne County, Nebraska. Initially 60 MW in 2018, expanded to 100 MW in 2022, the project supports matching a significant portion of the company's grid electricity use with renewables and has contributed to substantial Scope 1 and 2 GHG reductions. Evidence: "Our first collaboration featured a partnership with Ørsted and Schneider Electric in the construction of Plum Creek Wind Farm – a series of 82 wind turbines in Wayne County, Nebraska. Following our initial commitment, which aided in the first turbines entering commercial operation in June 2020, we expanded our participation in this project in 2022, growing our renewable energy commitment for offtake from 60MW to 100MW." — https://www.jmsmucker.com/news-stories/blog-archive/promoting-renewable-energy
