Pattern Energy has acquired the 200MW Logan’s Gap Wind project from Pattern Development for $113m in Texas, US.
The acquisition boosts Pattern Energy’s owned capacity by 11% to 1,636MW with 12 wind projects across the US, Canada, and Chile.
The project is under construction at Comanche County in Texas, and will be equipped with 87 Siemens 2.3MW wind turbines.
Three institutional tax equity investors will acquire 36MW of the generated power from the project on its completion, while Pattern Energy will have an owned interest of 164MW.
Once operational, the project will have a yearly generation to power 50,000 homes in Texas.
The project will be connected to Oncor’s 138kV Comanche-Zephyr line which crosses the site to deliver power for the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
