The project, which began operations in 2018, is powered by 80 GE Renewable Energy wind turbines.

The power generated from the wind farm will serve customers in Evergy’s service area.

Scout Clean Energy CEO and founder Michael Rucker stated: “The Persimmon Creek wind farm has proven to be a reliable source of renewable energy over the last five years, making it a solid investment for Scout. We are excited to finalise the sale to Evergy as it seeks to deliver carbon-free wind energy directly to their customers.

“The completion of the Persimmon Creek sale positions Scout to provide a significant return on the capital invested. As a part of the existing operations agreement, Scout will continue servicing the project through the end of this year.”
