Italy's Enel Inks Power Deal With Las Vegas Resort

Italy's Enel SpA (ENEL.MI) has signed an agreement to sell the energy produced at its new solar-power facility in Nevada to U.S. resort Wynn Las Vegas, the company said on Thursday.

Enel has invested about $40 million in the facility, it said.

Under the power-purchase agreement--signed through Enel's renewable energy subsidiary, Enel Green Power North America, Inc.--the Italian company will sell over 43,900 megawatt-hours a year to Wynn Las Vegas.

The new 27-megawatt plant, named Wynn Solar Facility at Stillwater, is under construction in Churchill County, Nevada, Enel said. Production is expected to start by the first half of the year.
