Mozart Devco announces energy offtake agreement

Mozart Devco LLC, a Dallas-based developer of clean energy infrastructure, has executed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative (JMEC), a regional electric cooperative serving northern New Mexico. 

Under the MOU, the parties will coordinate technical planning, power offtake considerations and enter a power purchase agreement. 

The agreement establishes a framework for cooperation as Mozart advances development of its proposed Ohkay Owingeh 10-megawatt waste-to-energy (WTE) facility, which plans to convert municipal solid waste into continuous, clean electricity for the regional grid. 

“This MOU represents an important early step in aligning clean energy development with local grid priorities,” says Mark Rutledge, Mozart CEO. “Working collaboratively with JMEC leadership allows us to plan responsibly and ensure the plant’s power generation is well-matched to regional demand.” 

The proposed facility is part of Mozart’s broader effort to develop clean energy infrastructure in partnership with local pueblos, governments, regional waste authorities and community stakeholders.  

“We are pleased to announce our support of Mozart Devco and the proposed waste-to-energy plant,” JMEC CEO Jospeh Sanchez says. “As a member-owned electric cooperative, JMEC supports responsible regional development, and we believe this opportunity aligns with our commitment to grid reliability, community benefits and long-term member interests.”
