De Soto, Iowa (PRWEB) May 17, 2015 -- Marshall Wind Energy LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RPM Access LLC (RPMA), has signed three individual long-term renewable energy power purchase agreements with Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission (MJMEUC), headquartered in Columbia, Missouri, Kansas Power Pool (KPP), based in Wichita, Kansas and the City of Independence, Missouri, Department of Power and Light (IPL), totaling 65 MW of renewable energy.

“On behalf of Marshall Wind Energy LLC, we are very pleased to embark on long-term renewable energy supply partnerships with MJMEUC, KPP and IPL,” said Mr. Stephen Dryden, Principal of RPM Access, the project’s developer. “We appreciate this opportunity to support their strategic objectives to achieve additional fuel diversity within their electric supply portfolios, advance their sustainability initiatives, secure predictable low-cost renewable energy pricing for two decades, and to proactively address retail consumers’ and other stakeholders’ growing expectations for environmental responsibility.”

“The Marshall Wind project is another notable addition to our growing renewable energy portfolio including solar, wind, landfill gas, and hydropower which has been developing for over 7 years. We anticipate that by the end of 2016 we may have as much as 77 MW, representing about 14% of our 2014 summer peak load for the Missouri Public Energy Pool,” remarked President and General Manager, Duncan Kincheloe, of the Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission. “We believe that developing a balanced portfolio of conventional and renewable energy sources best positions our communities to react to future changes in state and federal requirements, while at the same time meeting local requests for low emission electric power. Municipal cities in Missouri have been demonstrated leaders among all utilities in promoting the growth of these energy resources.”

“With this purchase power agreement, nearly twenty percent of the Kansas Power Pool’s load will be served by renewable energy,” noted KPP General Manager, Mark Chesney. “We are pleased to add this renewable energy resource to our generation mix – it is important to our future as wind energy is among the least-cost renewable energy resources.”

“The City of Independence is committed to providing affordable, safe and reliable electric service to our community with a commitment to the environment,” said Leon Daggett, Power & Light Director. “With the Marshall Wind power purchase, the City of Independence’s renewable electric supply portfolio will increase from 5% to over 13% thereby meeting the City Council’s goal of 10% by 2018.”

In combination, these renewable energy power contracts will enhance the electric supply portfolios supporting the needs of approximately 175,000 retail consumers served regionally by MJMEUC, KPP and IPL.

On May 4th, RPM Access signed a supply contract with Vestas-American Wind Technology for 36 V110-2.0 MW turbines to power its 72 MW Marshall Wind Farm in Marshall County, Kansas. Installation and commissioning of the wind turbines is planned for the first half of 2016, with full commercial operations expected before July 1, 2016.
