Clearway Energy Group signs over
1,400 MW in wind turbine agreements
in the past nine months
Clearway Energy Group
(“Clearway”) has signed
agreements for Siemens Gamesa
Renewable Energy (“Siemens
Gamesa”) to supply Clearway
over 1,400 MW. Siemens Gamesa
is providing varying wind turbine
types to both build new projects
and to repower existing projects
in Oklahoma, Texas, Washington,
and West Virginia.
This week Clearway also
announced the financial close of
repowering both the Wildorado
and Elbow Creek Wind Farms
in Texas with Siemens Gamesa,
which total 283 MW.
Wildorado and Elbow Creek were
both signed in September 2018.
“We are excited to continue our
partnership with Clearway on
these projects, which are a
testament to a solid collaboration
between both companies in the
last year,” said José Antonio
Miranda, CEO of Onshore
Americas at Siemens Gamesa
Renewable Energy. “The
repowering of the Wildorado and
Elbow Creek projects is a major
step in an exciting relationship
with Clearway and a
demonstration of confidence in
Siemens Gamesa.”
“We’re proud to be moving
forward with our Repowering
Partnership with Clearway
Energy, Inc. and concurrently
signing agreements for over 1.4
GW of new construction and
repowering wind projects with
Siemens Gamesa,” said Craig
Cornelius, CEO of Clearway
Energy Group. “In addition to
getting started on these first
repowering projects, we’re
looking forward to advancing the
balance of the projects planned
under these agreements and
seeing them through to
completion over the coming
years.”
Additional projects being
developed by Clearway Energy
Group included in the turbine
arrangements feature the
previously sold Mesquite Star
project, currently under
construction in Texas, and the
proposed Rattlesnake Flat project
in Washington, along with
projects yet to be announced.
