The power plant will be developed under a fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) agreement with White Construction, and will feature 49 units of Gamesa G97/G90 turbines.

Gamesa will also offer turbine operations and maintenance (O&M) services for the facility under a five-year fixed price contract.

"With strong fundamentals and commercial underpinnings, the New Creek Wind Project … advances a key corporate priority of growing our renewable generation platform."

The wind power development is backed by renewable energy credit (REC) sales and off take agreements, with fixed pricing through mid-and-long-term contracts.

Enbridge chief development officer and corporate planning senior vice-president Vern Yu said: "With strong fundamentals and commercial underpinnings, the New Creek Wind Project is a strong fit within our low-risk value proposition, and advances a key corporate priority of growing our renewable generation platform."

This acquisition raises Enbridge’s investment in renewable power sector to nearly C$5bn ($3.75bn) since 2002.

Earlier this month, the firm signed a deal with E.on to acquire a 24.9% stake in the 400MW Rampion wind project for C$750m ($569.8m).

The firm, which seeks to expand its portfolio with wind, solar and geothermal power projects, presently holds interests in almost 2GW of net renewable and alternative generating capacity.
