Clearway Energy Group has started construction on the Mesquite Star wind farm, located in Fischer and Nolan counties in Texas, US.

Mizuho-led bank group comprising KeyBank, MUFG and Santander have agreed to a loan grant to finance the construction of the wind farm.

Once completed, BHE Renewables will provide a tax equity commitment to invest in the project.

Clearway Energy Group CEO Craig Cornelius said: “A project of this size takes an amazing group of partners at the local level, offtakers committed to purchasing renewable energy, and the financial community.

“We are proud to play a central role in this achievement and thankful for the support of our execution partners, Blattner Energy and Siemens Gamesa, who helped ensure Mesquite Star will deliver affordable clean renewable energy.”

It is one of more than 60 utility-scale wind and solar projects being developed by Clearway in the US. Hill Country Wind Power was its original developer.
