Our operational footprint
A leader in energy innovation and resilience
Headquartered in Houston, Texas, EDPR NA's story in the U.S. began in 2007 when we embraced the growing demand for renewable energy and acquired Horizon Wind Energy LLC. Since then, we have more than doubled our clean energy generation, becoming one of the top five renewable energy producers in the U.S. in operating clean energy capacity.
Deploying clean, reliable, and affordable energy
EDPR NA is a leader in providing innovative clean power solutions that deliver economic benefits and energy security for all Americans. Our portfolio spans North America and includes utility-scale wind, solar, and energy storage projects, as well as distributed generation energy solutions through our business's distributed generation arm.
About EDPR NA Distributed Generation
As a leader in delivering domestic energy solutions across North America, we are fully aligned with EDP’s global commitment to building an equitable and just energy future for all.
This commitment is also reflected in our community-driven approach, which our team takes great pride in. From early development to construction and throughout a project's operational life, we remain present and dedicated to being a good neighbor to the communities where we reside.
