Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company (Greenbacker) has acquired a wind generation facility in Teton County, Montana, US, from Greenfield Wind, majority of which owned by Foundation Windpower.
The total consideration for the 25MW farm, Greenfield Wind Farm, is around $3.45m, and the acquisition was carried out by one of Greenbacker’s subsidiary.
Equipped with 13 GE 2.3-107MW wind turbines, the farm currently sells power directly to the local public utility, NorthWestern Energy.
Greenfield Wind Farm currently under a 25-year fixed-rate power purchase agreement (PPA), which comprises the complete sale of environmental credits, with no escalation for the contract period.
Additionally, the deal has enabled Greenfield Wind to repay its $26m turbine supply loan.
Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company CEO Charles Wheeler said: “We are extremely pleased to be purchasing our second wind asset from Foundation Windpower.
