The project is expected to come online in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Lincoln Clean Energy (LCE), a subsidiary of Ørsted and developer of U.S. renewables, has acquired a 103-MW construction-ready wind project in Butte County, South Dakota.
“The acquisition of this South Dakota wind farm adds to our growing portfolio of onshore wind assets and continues to broaden the geographic footprint of our asset base into the important SPP market,” said Lincoln Clean Energy CEO Declan Flanagan.
SPP, or the Southwest Power Pool, is one of nine regional electric reliability councils under North American Electric Reliability Corporation authority.
LCE purchased the project from Pattern Energy Group, an independent renewable energy company with wind and solar assets in the United States, Canada, and Japan.
Combined with its Plum Creek wind farm in Nebraska, planned for construction in 2020, this latest acquisition further expands LCE’s operations into the SPP market.
