- EDP secured a 250 MW solar project in Arkansas on October 19, 2026.
- EDP contracted 1.7 GW of US solar and battery capacity since July 2025.
- EDP stock traded at EUR 4.77 at 10:03 a.m. CET on October 27, 2026, 3.44 percent below the Xetra-free 52-week high of EUR 4.94.
EDP - Energias de Portugal (ISIN PTEDP0AM0009) secured a long-term power purchase agreement for a 250 MWac solar project in Arkansas. The contract covers clean electricity from a project with 351 MWdc of installed capacity, according to the EDP release dated October 19, 2026.
The agreement gives EDP another contracted renewable asset in the United States while the company builds a broader pipeline for technology-related electricity demand. EDP Renewables, which is 71.4 percent owned by EDP, signed the agreement with a global technology company, but the release did not identify the buyer.
Arkansas adds to contracted capacity
EDP said it had contracted 1.7 GW of solar and battery energy storage system greenfield capacity in the United States since July 2025. The company expects energy delivery from that portfolio during 2026 through 2028, placing the Arkansas project inside a multi-year delivery schedule rather than presenting it as a one-off development.
The project is also tied to EDP's stated investment discipline. The company said its 2026 through 2028 business plan uses risk and return thresholds, including a spread of more than 250 basis points between internal returns and the weighted average cost of capital.
What does 1.7 GW mean for execution?
The capacity figure shows the scale of EDP's recent US contracting activity, while the 250 MWac Arkansas project provides a concrete example of how that pipeline is being converted into long-term supply agreements. The 351 MWdc figure also reflects the project's larger direct-current capacity before conversion into alternating-current output.
EDP's next reporting dates
EDP's investor page states that the company will release its nine-month 2026 results on November 5, 2026, followed by a webcast presentation on November 6, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. UK and Lisbon time. Those dates provide the next scheduled checkpoints for assessing operating performance against the company's 2026 through 2028 plan, according to EDP's investor page.
