Contracts for 3.5GW of US wind PPAs were signed in the first quarter of 2018, a high water mark in recent years, according to latest figures from industry body AWEA.

The power deals represent the highest quarterly volume since AWEA began tracking the data in 2013.

Six companies including Adobe, AT&T and Nestlé signed wind PPAs for the first time, while Bloomberg, Facebook, Nike and T-Mobile became repeat customers.
