Also, the purchased wind farms include the Highland North, Patton and Twin Ridges projects, totalling 244MW from Vitol and the 62MW Cambria wind farm from Oppidum.
Exus plans to repower three schemes and said the deal would help accelerate its evolution from asset manager to independent power producer.
Furthermore, Jim Spencer, president and chief executive at Exus North America, said: “Pennsylvania’s natural wind resource coupled with a growing demand for renewables in the state make it an ideal location for us to further our ambitions of advancing highly productive renewable energy solutions in North America.”
Likewise, R. Andrew de Pass, head of renewable and sustainable investments at Vitol, said: “Vitol is pleased to sell its equity interests in Twin Ridges, Highland North, and Patton to Exus, a highly experienced wind developer and operator.” He added that repowering these projects will increase capacity by 25 per cent.
